Thoroughbred race horse tracks are usually oval in design, and vary in length from 440-yards to 2.5-miles. The Kentucky Derby is ran on a 1.25-mile dirt track. The Dubai World Cup is ran on a synthetic dirt track of the same distance.

The size of the Kentucky Derby racetrack is 1-1/4 miles. That's 2 kilometers, or 10 furlongs. It's a left-handed dirt track. 'The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports' takes place annually at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

The average professional horse racing track is about 1.5 miles in length. This varies greatly depending on the style of racing and the type of racehorse.

The dimensions of a horse racing "track" (not field) varies from venue to venue.

A "field" is the horses in the race (at least two horses, naturally).

That's actually not the average, that's the largest I believe maybe in the world. Belmont Park for instance is a 1 1/2 mile track. That in fact I think is the only US track that is that long. The majority of tracks in the US are a mile, some, very few are 1 1/8 mile. The bull rings as they are know maybe only 6 furlongs which is 3/4 of a mile. I believe one track in Saudi Arabia is also 1 1/2 miles.

Official size of a field event in track and field?

Track Size for Outdoor Track The standard running track size for outdoor track is 400 meters. This length is also approximately a quarter of a mile. The track is in an oval shape. Today, tracks have a rubber surface; whereas, older tracks are usually cinder covered. The inner field of the track usually has natural grass or an artificial surface. The inner field can be used for field events. Often, the inner field is also used as a football or soccer field. You can find outdoor tracks all over. From colleges to high schools, to professional sport fields, outdoor tracks can be found. The number of lanes in an outdoor track depends on what level the track is used for. Outdoor tracks at smaller high schools may have six lanes; whereas, tracks used at the Olympics and other high level track events often have nine lanes. Track Size for Indoor Track The standard running track size for indoor track is 200 meters, half the size of an outdoor track. However, although the standard size is 200 meters, some indoor tracks are 150 meters and others are 120 meters. Additionally, some indoor track meets will take place on tracks over 200 meters, however, because the track size is more than 200 meters, no official records can be set on these larger indoor tracks. In indoor track meets, the field events only include high jump, long jump, pole vault, triple jump, and shot put. These events will take place within the circumference of the track. The longest running event that takes place on an indoor track is 5,000 meters. The 3,000 meter race is also commonly run at the collegiate level.
