The javelin foul line, also known as the "foul arc," is typically marked 8 meters from the front of the throwing circle in men's events and 7 meters for women's events. This arc defines the area beyond which a javelin throw is considered a foul if the javelin lands outside of it. The exact dimensions may vary slightly based on specific competitions or regulations, but these are the general standards set by the World Athletics.

What is the line called that the javelin is thrown from?
The javelin is thrown off of the "run way," which is the strip of track turf that is usually on either end of the field. Each throw must be completed behind the "foul line." This is typically a line or a metal/plastic board at the end of the runway. If the thrower steps over (including falling over) the line it is considered a foul and the throw is disregarded and not measured. This can happen if the thrower is out of control, has poor spacing, or walks over the foul line after their throw. To maintain their throw and to get it measured, they must not step over it or fall over it, instead they must exit a few feet behind it to either side of the run way after the javelin lands or the official calls it fair with the word "mark."
