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.
The size of the long jump and triple jump pits in the Olympics typically measures about 2.75 meters wide and can vary in length, usually around 10 meters or more, depending on the specific venue and event requirements. The depth of the pit often ranges from 0.5 to 1 meter to ensure adequate safety and landing conditions for athletes. Each pit is filled with a special material, such as sand or a synthetic surface, to cushion the landing.
