The required depth of sand for a long jump pit typically ranges from 30 to 60 centimeters (about 12 to 24 inches). This depth helps to adequately absorb the impact of jumpers and provides a safe landing area. It's essential to maintain the sand's consistency and ensure it is regularly raked to keep it level and compacted.

a sand pit
The mark in the sand made by a long jumper is called a "landing mark" or "jump mark." It indicates the point where the jumper's feet first touch the sand after their jump. This mark is used to measure the distance of the jump for scoring purposes.
Two events in athletics use a sandpit: the long jump, and the triple jump.

Long jump is measured from the takeoff line to the closest landing point in the sand pit. The distance is measured in meters from the edge of the takeoff board where the athlete's foot leaves the ground to the mark left by the athlete's nearest body part.
