Track and Field was started in ancient Greece around 776 BC around 3,000 years ago it took place to honor the Greek gods.
A standard high school track is typically 400 meters in circumference for the innermost lane. Since a 6-lane track maintains the same overall distance, the distance around the track remains 400 meters, regardless of the number of lanes. However, for races, the distance can vary depending on which lane is used, as outer lanes are slightly longer.

No, the distance around lane 8 on a track is not twice the distance of lane 1. While each lane on a standard 400-meter track is wider than the one inside it, the increase in distance is not linear. The outer lanes have a longer circumference due to their larger radius, but the total distance of lane 8 is typically only about 7-10 meters more than lane 1, depending on the specific design of the track.
