The 200m is half way around the track.
#2 -
The inside lane of a standard running track is 400 meters, with the finish line of the 200 meter race at the end of the front straightaway, and the starting point at the end of the back straightaway. All runners in the 200 cover the same distance -- an 84.4-meter curve and a 115.6-meter straightaway (= 200 meters).
While all the lanes in both straightaways are equal length, the further outside you go on the turns, the longer the distance around the track, due to the wider radius. In order to allow all runners to end at the same finish line, the starting points for any race running around a curve must be measured the appropriate distance away from the finish, which explains the need for "staggered" starts, preventing runners from using one single starting line.
If you look at a 400-meter race, which is one full lap for the runner in the inside lane, the stagger between the starting blocks for other lanes will be double the stagger for the 200. The outermost athlete is near the end of the first turn, which makes it appear they only have one curve with which to contend. However, while the innermost lane does in fact run two separate curves, the outermost lane runs one much-longer one. So, regardless of lane assignment, all athletes still run identical distances on both straights and curves.
If there is a major difference in lane choice, it is that some athletes do not like to run the "tight" curve of the inner lanes, preferring the gentle curve of the outer lanes. On the other hand, the runners in the outer lanes cannot easily "keep an eye" on the other competitors, and often prefer to be toward the middle lanes, where the curve is moderately sharp, but they can still see half of the competitors.

How many miles have you run if you go round an 800 meter track 8 times?
If you run around an 800 meter track 8 times, you would have run a total of 6.4 kilometers, which is approximately 3.98 miles.
How many laps around a track that is 0.125 will make a mile?
If you are saying that the track is .125 of a mile, then it would be a 200 meter track. In that case, eight laps around the track would be a mile.
How many meters is 7 laps around a track field?
On a standard 400 meter track, it would be 2800 meters.
How many times around the track is .106 miles?
0.42612 times.
How many times around the track in 800?
twice
How many times around an outdoor track is a 4x100meter relay?
Well if its your typical 400m track, then 4 times.
How many times around a 400 meter track to get a mile?
Four times around. 4 times around a 400m track would equal 1600 meters. 1 mile is equal to 1,609.34 meters. You would need to either start 9.34 meters behind the start line, or run the same distance past the finish line to run one mile (5280ft).
How many times around a track is 1500m?
24 times around a 400m track. 25 laps=10,000m 10km=6.2 miles
How many laps are in 2 miles?
To calculate the number of laps in 2 miles, you need to know the length of the track. For example, if the track is a standard 400 meters, then 1 mile is equivalent to 4 laps. Therefore, 2 miles would be 8 laps around a 400-meter track.
How many times do you go around the track to equal a mile in lane 6?
how long is the track? at mine it is 4 times.
How many times around a track is one mile?
6
