You can have a simple sandpit dug about half a meter in the ground.
For the runway you will need three blocks of wood dug into the ground a meter apart and your done.

absolutely not
There are four judges that are involved in the triple jump event. Two write down the distances, one that measures in the sand, and one that checks if the athlete faulted.
Two events in athletics use a sandpit: the long jump, and the triple jump.
Runners run down a runway to a board 20 cm wide they must jump from without the planting foot crossing the plane of the board(forward) and land in a sand pit. From the forward edge of the board to the place nearest where the runner landed in the sand pit is the jump distance measured in meters. In the USA this measurement is in meters and/or feet.
A long jump in track and field is a jumping event where athletes try to jump as far as possible from a takeoff point. The jump is performed by sprinting down a runway and then leaping into a sandpit, with the distance measured from the takeoff point to the closest mark made in the sand by any part of the athlete's body.

sandy sand
just that: the sand pit.
The mark in the sand made by a long jumper is called a "landing mark" or "jump mark." It indicates the point where the jumper's feet first touch the sand after their jump. This mark is used to measure the distance of the jump for scoring purposes.
According to the IAAF Track and Field Facilities Manual 2008, the type of sand for the long jump landing area is "Washed river sand 0 to 2mm graining, no organic components, max. 5% of weight up to 0.20mm" Here is the link for the manual: http:/www.iaaf.org/aboutiaaf/publications/rules/index.html Hope this helps.
