What is once round a running track?
Typical outdoor tracks are 400 meters (440 yards) on the inside lane. Many indoor tracks are 200 meters (220 yards) around, with some as small as 160 meters (176 yards) when space is severely limited.
Why are running tracks 400 meters?
In my opinion, it is not if you are running anything more than a 55m dash. Since there are so many turns, you most likely won't get as good times as on a 400m track.

How many miles in an oval outdoor field track in lane 4?
It depends on how long the track is, but on the normal 400M track, it takes a little more than four laps to make a mile (1609.344M), in lane 1. If you use the line marked 400M in each lane, then you will also run 400M in that lane, but once you go past the common start/finish line, you are going more than 400M per lap. The distance covered will be different depending upon whether the outside lane is the 4th lane (some practice and MS tracks), the 6th lane (some small HS tracks), the 8th lane (most HS, college and international tracks) or the 9th lane (some elite college and Olympic level international tracks).
How many tracks in Olympic running?
Just one track, few different events on it.
What is the distance around a high school running track if you walk all eight lanes?
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.
How many running feet in 6 meters?
6 meters is about 20 (19.7) feet.
What should be the lead distance of a person running in a curved outer track than the inner one?
It depends on many things, from track size to difference in starting lane and the event. for example in the 800m run the racers can break to lane one after either 100m or after 300m. usually the 100m lead differential between say lane 3 to lane 4 is about 4 meters, lane 5 would be 8, 6 would be 12...etc.
How many meters swimming equates to .75 miles running?

How many miles is an out door field track in lane 4?
Standard outdoor tracks are 400 meters in length in the first lane which roughly equals 1/4 mile (actually .2485 mile). Distance in the other lanes depends on the length of the turns and the width of the lanes which varies between facilities. Some tracks have been fit into narrow spaces and thus have very short, tight turns and long straights. Similarly lane width plays a roll. The 400m distance is measured along the inside line of lane one so the distance around the second lane should be measured around the inside line of lane 2 (i.e. the outside line of lane 1). If each lane is 2.5 feet wide the distance around lane 2 will be different than if each lane is 3 feet wide. Generally the additional distance added by moving out one lane is between 4 and 6 meters. So lane 2 would be around 406m, lane 3 around 412m, etc. 1m = .0006 mile so you can do the math to figure out the distance of each lane in miles. One way to figure out how many meters each lane adds on the track you're on is to measure the distance between 400m start lines. In lane 1 there is the large Start/Finish line usually stretching across all lanes. In lane 2, a few meters ahead you should find another line (usually a thinner and a different color) with a marking indicating "400." The distance between the general start in lane 1 and the start in lane 2 is equal to the distance lane 2 adds to a full lap. You'll find the same line in each lane at equal distance. These are the lines used to start a 400m race. Each runner must stay in his/her assigned lane for the whole lap so the staggered start lines ensure each runs exactly 400m when the cross the common finish.
