you build it
An 8 lane track is 9.76m wide, so divide by 8 gives you 1.22m. Or you can go and measure it.
No, the distance around lane 8 on a track is not twice the distance of lane 1. While each lane on a standard 400-meter track is wider than the one inside it, the increase in distance is not linear. The outer lanes have a longer circumference due to their larger radius, but the total distance of lane 8 is typically only about 7-10 meters more than lane 1, depending on the specific design of the track.
The inside lane is called lane one.
Yes, because in lane 1 from the very beginning is 1 mile exactly, 4 times around the track that is. While if you ran the whole thing in lane 8, 4x around the track, you'd just be running even further.
400m, 6 lanes, 8 lane straight
4 laps :-)
If you begin in lane one, then lane 2 etc. through lane 8, this is a convenient way to keep track of how many laps you've done.If the width of the lanes is 1.27 m (50 inches), and you run around the track once in each lane you will have run:400 (Lane One) +408.99 (Lane Two) +415.959 (Lane Three)+423.939 (Lane Four) +431.918 (Lane Five) +439.898 (Lane Six) +447.878 (Lane Seven) +455.857 (Lane Eight) =3424.439 (Total Meters Run).Suggestion: switch lanes at a consistant position on a straight section of track.

Each lane is about 8 m longer than the previous one.Suggestion: switch lanes at a consistant position on a straight section of track.Read more: How_far_is_it_if_you_do_lane_1_through_8_on_a_track

Usually the size of a track is determined by the inside measurement, and the track becomes longer in the middle lane, and even longer yet in the outside lane. this is why you see them at most tracks qualify on the inside lane, its shorter.
The width of a college track will depend on the college. If the college is wealthy it should be between 6 and 8 lanes in width.
The homophone for a lane or track is "lain," which is the past participle of the verb "to lie."
