Track Events:
In running relay races a baton is needed, starting blocks, a gun (or other instrument to commence races) and good supportive, running shoes - preferably, properly spiked track shoes.
Hurdles of different sizes for different age and sex are used in the hurdle events.
The "steeplechase" event also has water traps, etc placed around the track.
Field Events:
- Jumping:
- The Long and Triple jump events have a runway and a sand pit in which to land.
- High jump requires a cross bar to jump over, two upright supports with measurements on them to hold the bar in place and some large, soft landing bags.
- The pole vault event is set up similarly, but a much higher bar set up and much more landing protection. Most importantly, it uses a long pole and a dugout 'jam' in which to jam the pole for stable 'lift-off'!
- Throwing:
All throwing events use different sizes and weights of throwing implements, depending on age and sex.
- The shot put uses a heavy metallic ball, called, 'the shot' and must be thrown from within a small circle marked out - roughly 7'6" in diameter.
- The javelin is a long spear-like implement that is thrown from a runway. Different weights and sizes are also used in this event, depending on age and sex.
- The discus is a weighted disc shaped implement. It is also thrown from within a restricting circle, just over 9 feet in diameter.
- The hammer throw uses a "hammer", which is a metallic weight at the end of a stiff wire arrangement having a 'grip' on it. It is also thrown from within a ring much like the discus.
This depends on the event but there are hurdles, a track, long/triple jump pit (a runway with lines across it that leads up to a sand pit), a high jump apron (the area where they do the high jump), a high jump mat (the mat you jump onto), a pole to jump over for the high jump, a stand to hold this pole up, shot put balls, discusses, possibly a javelin, stop watches, relay batons, possibly steeplechase barriers and water pits, and of course sneakers.
