The length is about 440 yards. Different race lengths can be established by locating the starting box at various points on the track.

The most common distance for a race in the United States is 5/16th of a mile. The race starts in a chute behind the top of the home stretch (U.S. greyhound tracks are uniformly 1/4 mile in length), and the dogs go around the track once.
The next most common distance is 3/8 mile. Other distances include 3/16th, 7/16th, and (rarely) 9/16th.
Most Greyhounds are retired between three and five years of age. The reason depends on many factors, such as win history, injuries, etc. Some successful dogs will race for longer, and some dogs retire much earlier due to an injury for example.
