During the 100 meter races, they will be assigned according to their time.
On a typical track, which is a training, high school, and a college track there are 8 lanes. However, on an olympic or professional track there are 9 lanes.
8 lanes.
Usually, there should be 8 lanes on a running track.
It has 9 lanes. What's my prize?
If we're talking about a standard track that measures 440 yards, then the distance traveled would be about 1.57 miles.
The stagger is done so that everyone runs the same distance. The runners that start on the inside lanes start farther back, because the outside lanes are longer. This way everyone runs the same distance no matter which lane they are assigned.
Assuming that we are dealing with a standard track, where the lanes are 42 in. wide and there is no curb on the inside of lane 1, then the answer is 0.257 miles or 413 meters.
no
390cm but most running tracks have 8 lanes
It is when your foot comes out of the lane's lines when sprinting. For long-distance running, which I did, as long as you stay within the extremities of all of the lanes, you are good.
Basically, the runners start as a crowd, not as individuals in lanes with starting blocks. Everybody lines up at the start, and they are all released at once.
