They don't have a lot of penalties in track. I only do track events and the most common penalty is false starting. It is when you start running before you hear the gun go off. Another penalty is pushing. that is obviously pushing people in your race. One penalty on the Field is stepping over the line. When you are in long jump and you jump after the line you get a scratch. I think that is the same in all Field events. Kyra

Equipment in Track and Field depends solely on the event. Each event comes with different equipment. The sprinting events require a starting block for the runners to start off of. The replay events require a baton for the runner to pass to the next runner in the relay. The throwing events consist of shot put, javelin, hammer throw, and discus. The jumping events of high jump and pole vault require a landing pad. Long jump and triple jump have a sand pit for the landing area.
