How many miles in an oval outdoor field track in lane 4?

Answer 1

It depends on how long the track is, but on the normal 400M track, it takes a little more than four laps to make a mile (1609.344M), in lane 1.

If you use the line marked 400M in each lane, then you will also run 400M in that lane, but once you go past the common start/finish line, you are going more than 400M per lap.

The distance covered will be different depending upon whether the outside lane is the 4th lane (some practice and MS tracks), the 6th lane (some small HS tracks), the 8th lane (most HS, college and international tracks) or the 9th lane (some elite college and Olympic level international tracks).

Answer 2

The standard college and high school track for competition is 400 meters. It takes almost four trips around the track to equal one mile.

Answer 3

4 times around the outside lane is 1 mile.
