Greyhound tracks in the United States are uniformly a quarter of a mile in circumverance.
The most common race distance is 5/16 mile. This starts down in a chute that extends beyond the start of the home stretch.
The next most common distance is 3/8 (6/16th) of a mile. This starts near the far turn on the backstretch.
Other common distances are 7/16th and 3/16th, both of which start near the head of the backstretch.
Rarely, a 9/16 distance race is run, sometimes known as a "Super Marathon". It begins in the same place as the 5/16 race does, and the greyhounds make two full circuits.

Do greyhounds race with a muzzle?
Yes, it i compulsory for a greyhound to wear a "racing muzzle", these are wire and light as opposed to plastic "box muzzles"Answer:Yes, Greyhounds race with muzzles on, not to keep them from fighting, or "going after" one another, but to identify which greyhound won the race.If you have ever seen the end of a race, you can often have a group of greyhounds at the front, and can be difficult to determine just who won the race. The muzzles help with identifying which "nose" crossed the finish line first.It also helps protect their long noses from injuries in case they fall.
