"4 laps equals 1 mile"
Since the standard for tracks built in the last 20+ years is 400M, then you must go 9.344 meters further than 4 laps. Over 90% of the outdoor tracks in existence are only 400M and will thus require the extra 9.344 meters to equal a true mile.
This is why most track meets only run the 1500M or the 1600M and not the mile. Unfortunately, most people erroneously assume that 4 laps equal a mile, due to older tracks being built to a non-metric standard of 440 yards.
If you want to finish on the common start/finish line and you'd like to run/walk a mile, then you should start at the beginning of the 4x400M relay exchange zone, which is 10 meters before the finish line. By doing that you will run/walk about 1 meter more than 1 mile, but you won't be short of a mile, as you would be if you only do 4 laps.

"That depends on the length of the track"

"4 each lap = 1/4 of a mile"

Depends how big the indoor track is to begin with
4
16 laps on a quarter mile track.
52.5 laps

3000 / 400 = 7.5 laps... simple math
Four laps around a 220 yard length track equals a mile. 220 meters equals 200 meters. Meters are usually the measurement used in track and field.
in a typical track it is 2.
it depends on if its an oficial size track. if its an official olympic sized track it will be 100 laps. 4 laps equals 1 mile so 4 times 25 would be 100 laps
On a standard outdoor athletics track of 400m: 1200m / 400m = 3 laps. Indoor athletics tracks can be 200m in which case 1200m / 200m = 6 laps.
220 laps. but if i where you I'd use a track it'll be less boring
1 lap is 400 meters, 2 laps are 800 meters, 3 laps is 1200 meters, 4 laps is 1600 meters and 5 laps is 2000 meters. 2000 meters also equals about 1.25 miles
A standard track is 400m 25 laps is 10,000m=6.2mi 4 laps is approximately 1 mile. 30 laps is about 7.5 miles
if the track is 1/10th of a mile, you would have to make ten laps to equal one mile. you would have make 5 laps to make half a mile. So 10 laps plus 5 laps equals 15 laps.
