Yes! I would normally do the math but I am exhausted. To do the math, you need to know the inside & outside diameter of the track and than convert that figure into its circumference. That gives you an exact answer.
In my estimation in will be close to 10% of the overall length which on a 400 meter track would be 40 meters.
Using this as a "Guess-timate", running 10 laps in the outer lane will be the same distance as 11 laps on the inside of the track.
I ran track to stay in shape for football & Wrestling for 4 years and ran on tracks for a great number of years until I became ill.

What is formula of stagger in track and field?
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.
If the inside lane of a 400 meter running track is 100 meters what would be the measurement of the outside lane on a six lane track?
It would be the same because they line you up further ahead the more outside you get in the starting line to make up for the difference.
A running track has parallel sides and semicircular ends Each lane is 1 meter wide How much of a head start should the runner in the outside lane receive over the one in the second lane from outside?
The distance gap between each lane is equal to the circumference of the semicircle at the end of the track plus the width of the lane. Assuming each lane has the same width, the runner in the outside lane should receive a head start equivalent to the circumference of one semicircular end plus the width of one lane.
Are the lanes in an outdoor oval track the same distance around?
No, the inside lane is shorter, the farther you go out, the longer the lanes become. Standard track lanes are 1.22m wide; therefore the following lengths apply for one lap of each lane: 1 400m (inside) 2 407.67m 3 415.33m 4 423m 5 430.66m 6 433.38m 7 446m 8 453.66m (outside)
Why do some running events have a staggered start?
The track is a circle and the further lane out you are in the longer your land is so your starting point is moved forward so all runners end on the same finish line and have ran the same distance
What is a staggered start in track and field?
*Staggered start. On a 8 lane 400 m track a staggered start ensures that each athlete runs the same amount in the short distance events such as the 200 and 400 m dash. You will notice that the athletes on the outside lanes seem to start ahead, but their lane seems to finish later. In reality, every lane is the same length if you start and finish where its marked to. Meanwhile, for distance events, the staggered start on the one line is simply used to ensure that no one gets a head start and everyone starts at the same time when the gun goes off.
Outside is to inside as exterior is to?
Exterior pairs with interior, same as outside with inside.
What is area and circumference and are they the same thing?
The area of a circle is the amount of space inside the circle. The circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside of the circle. (So no, they are not the same thing.)
How is an circle different an ellipse?
The outside of the circle is always the same distance from the centre. The outside of an ellipse is not the same distance from the centre all the way round.
How Is circles different from an ellipse?
The outside of the circle is always the same distance from the centre. The outside of an ellipse is not the same distance from the centre all the way round.
How is a circle different from an ellipse?
The outside of the circle is always the same distance from the centre. The outside of an ellipse is not the same distance from the centre all the way round.
Which is the inside lane in Australia?
In Australia, where there are two parallel lanes for vehicles traveling in the same direction, the right hand lane is referred to as the "outside lane" and the left hand lane, closest to the curb, is the "inside lane".
