If you begin in lane one, then lane 2 etc. through lane 8, this is a convenient way to keep track of how many laps you've done.

If the width of the lanes is 1.27 m (50 inches), and you run around the track once in each lane you will have run:

400 (Lane One) +

408.99 (Lane Two) +

415.959 (Lane Three)+

423.939 (Lane Four) +

431.918 (Lane Five) +

439.898 (Lane Six) +

447.878 (Lane Seven) +

455.857 (Lane Eight) =

3424.439 (Total Meters Run).

Suggestion: switch lanes at a consistant position on a straight section of track.

The lanes are designed to be the same length no matter which you start in.

This is the reason for the curve in the start line.

It's more than 3200m as only the first lane is 400 meters.
