What is the difference in distance between the inside lane and outside lane on track for track and field?

The length of a 400-meter track is actually measured along a "measuring line" that is located in lane 1. The measuring line is exactly 400 meters. The actual location of the measuring is based upon whether there is a raised curb on the inside of track, or not. Go to NCAA.ORG for the specific measurement to the lane. It's approxiamtely 30 from the outside edge of the interior lane 1 line (which is 2-inches wide) for raised curbs, and approximately 20 cm from the outside edge of the interior lane 1 line for no curbs at all.

If there is a curb inside lane 1, that is measured 30 cm (about a foot) into the lane (meaning the outer edge of the curb is slightly less than 400 meters). Outer lanes, or even lane 1 if it is just a painted lane line, are measured 20 cm (about 8 inches from the outside edge of the paint) into the lane.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIf you measure the absolute lengths, the further our the lane is, the longer it is, because the corners have a bigger radius. This is why events such as the 200/400m have staggered starts, as it compensates for the difference in length of the lanes. The other difference is that some people "feel" better in a certain lane, but this seems to happen for no apparent reason.
