400 meters. The track is designed so that no mater what lane you are in, the distance is equal as long as lane 6 starts ahead of 5-1. There are starting markers on the track that will say 400m, 200m, ect. and that is how you know where to start. The starting points are scattered because of the potion of your lane, if you are in lane 1, you will be starting in the back. If you are in lane 8, you will be in front. The only time you are not staggered is if you are on a straight path such as a 100m or 50m.
Stay at least 15 inches from the rail all the way around a 400 meter track and you will cover a quarter mile (440 yards) each lap. So you can run 4 laps in lane one and cover a mile, as long as you are on the outer part of the lane.
400 mtrs
If it is 1500m, then it is 1500m, no matter how long the track is. If you mean how many laps, that would be 3.75 laps on a 400m track, and 7.5 on a 200m track.
Run in lane 1 if you have the choice. This would only matter in long distance races. Running in lane 1 allows you to put in less effort to get around the track because every next lane to the outside of the first is almost 3 meters longer and this would matter in the long run. If somebody is in front of you in lane 1, go to lane 2 and run a little faster to get ahead of that guy. Only do that if you know you can catch that guy ahead of you. Hopefully this was what you were looking for!
The 50 meter dash is an 8th of a track, or half of a straightaway
how long is the track? at mine it is 4 times.
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.
You talking bout the strait- away, if so its a hundred meters.
100 meters. The entire track is 400 meters around.
4x400 meter go fast be the best
Its is 4 times around the track for outside track! THANKS HOPE THAT I HELP!!
