There are four judges that are involved in the triple jump event. Two write down the distances, one that measures in the sand, and one that checks if the athlete faulted.
Two events in athletics use a sandpit: the long jump, and the triple jump.
1. If your foot crosses over the front of the marked line 2. If the jumper walks back towards the front of the pit after he jumps andexits the front of the pit. 3. If the jumper touches any of the outside edges when landing in his jump. 4. When a jumper is excecuting his jump and happens to enter the sand on his second phase (the step) then it is a fault.
The long jump is measured from the front of the jump board to the closes point in the sand that the jumper touches the sand in a straight line.

According to the IAAF Track and Field Facilities Manual 2008, the type of sand for the long jump landing area is "Washed river sand 0 to 2mm graining, no organic components, max. 5% of weight up to 0.20mm" Here is the link for the manual: http:/www.iaaf.org/aboutiaaf/publications/rules/index.html Hope this helps.

You can have a simple sandpit dug about half a meter in the ground.For the runway you will need three blocks of wood dug into the ground a meter apart and your done.
