Best Answer

The run up lane is 4 meters wide and at least 30 meters long. It ends with a curved "scratch line" and feeds into a 29 degree arc. Throwers must remain completely behind the scratch line and the forward tip of the javelin must land inside the area defined by the arc otherwise the throw does not count for score.
