Running tracks are built today following the guidelines of the IAAF which state that the measuring line measures 400 meters. Using that as a guide, lane 6 will then be 433.38 meters.

What is the difference in distance between lane 1 of a 400 meter track and lane 8 of a 400 meter track?
Using a 1.25m lane width, the difference is 54.97mHandy calculator...http://www.csgnetwork.com/disttracklanecalc.html
How do you get the measurement for a lap at a Nascar track is it in the middle lane on the outside lane or the inside lane?
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.
On a track is the mile distance based on the inside lane?
yes
How many laps on the outside lane of a track equal a mile?
4
What is the distance around the track at Herrin Illinois High School?
Nearly all high school running tracks are nominally a "quarter-mile" or 440 yard track. But there is a difference in distance depending on which lane you run in. If you stay in the outside lanes and don't move to the inner lane during the turns, you'll be running significantly longer.
Is the inside the lane the same distance as the outside lane?
Yes! I would normally do the math but I am exhausted. To do the math, you need to know the inside & outside diameter of the track and than convert that figure into its circumference. That gives you an exact answer. In my estimation in will be close to 10% of the overall length which on a 400 meter track would be 40 meters. Using this as a "Guess-timate", running 10 laps in the outer lane will be the same distance as 11 laps on the inside of the track. I ran track to stay in shape for football & wrestling for 4 years and ran on tracks for a great number of years until I became ill.
If the inside lane of a 400 meter running track is 100 meters what would be the measurement of the outside lane on a six lane track?
It would be the same because they line you up further ahead the more outside you get in the starting line to make up for the difference.
How to calculate distance between each lane of 400m racing track?
An 8 lane track is 9.76m wide, so divide by 8 gives you 1.22m. Or you can go and measure it.
What is the difference in distance between the inside lane and outside lane on track for track and field?
The length of a 400-meter track is actually measured along a "measuring line" that is located in lane 1. The measuring line is exactly 400 meters. The actual location of the measuring is based upon whether there is a raised curb on the inside of track, or not. Go to NCAA.ORG for the specific measurement to the lane. It's approxiamtely 30 from the outside edge of the interior lane 1 line (which is 2-inches wide) for raised curbs, and approximately 20 cm from the outside edge of the interior lane 1 line for no curbs at all.
Are the lanes in an outdoor oval track the same distance around?
No, the inside lane is shorter, the farther you go out, the longer the lanes become. Standard track lanes are 1.22m wide; therefore the following lengths apply for one lap of each lane: 1 400m (inside) 2 407.67m 3 415.33m 4 423m 5 430.66m 6 433.38m 7 446m 8 453.66m (outside)
What is the length of the outside of a 400M track in meters?
or if you want to know the distance of each lane i think lane 8 is something like 450m. if you measure from the start of the 400m back to the finish line and add 400m that should give the dist. you would travel in that lane
What is the distance around an official Olympics running track?
The Olympics uses a track of 400 meters in length, as measured in lane 1.
