Two events in athletics use a sandpit: the long jump, and the triple jump.
The long jump boards are the white lines that line the run way of the pit. These lines are certain lengths away from the edge of the pit. For outdoor the distances from the board to the pit are 4' 8' & 12' in indoor the distances away from the board are 5' & 10'

The standard dimensions of a take-off board in athletics, specifically for long jump and triple jump, are typically 20 centimeters (8 inches) in width and 1.22 meters (4 feet) in length. The board is placed at a specified distance from the jump pit and is crucial for measuring the athlete's jump. These dimensions ensure consistency across competitions.
A jump is measured from the foul line to the first spot where the athlete touched in the sand pit.
