IAAF regulations state that 48" will be the width of lanes for track & field.
To be specific:
for international competition, IAAF specifies 48". For colleges, NCAA recommends 1.07m (42 in.). For high schools, NFSHSA recommends 42".
In ALL cases, the 5cm dividing line to the right of the lane is included in the lane width.
A FISA (Olympics type) rowing-venue lane must be 13.5 meters (44 feet, 3.5 inches) wide.

How do you make a stagger?
To find the stagger of a running track you must first have the lane width, if you don't then find it, and after you get the lane width which is approximately 1.22m meters you multiply it by 2 then by Pi, if you don't know what Pi is it's appro. 3.14 or 22 divided 7, so if the lane width was 1.22 i use the formula, (2 x Pi x lane width), 2 multiplied by 1.22 is 2.44 and then multiplied by Pi (3.14) you get 7.66, so each lane is 7.66 Meters ahead of the other :) HOPE THIS HELPED!
How long is the straight portion of an Olympics running track?
100 meters. The entire track is 400 meters around.
A running track has parallel sides and semicircular ends Each lane is 1 meter wide How much of a head start should the runner in the outside lane receive over the one in the second lane from outside?
The distance gap between each lane is equal to the circumference of the semicircle at the end of the track plus the width of the lane. Assuming each lane has the same width, the runner in the outside lane should receive a head start equivalent to the circumference of one semicircular end plus the width of one lane.

What is the distance around a high school running track if you walk all eight lanes?
If you begin in lane one, then lane 2 etc. through lane 8, this is a convenient way to keep track of how many laps you've done.If the width of the lanes is 1.27 m (50 inches), and you run around the track once in each lane you will have run:400 (Lane One) +408.99 (Lane Two) +415.959 (Lane Three)+423.939 (Lane Four) +431.918 (Lane Five) +439.898 (Lane Six) +447.878 (Lane Seven) +455.857 (Lane Eight) =3424.439 (Total Meters Run).Suggestion: switch lanes at a consistant position on a straight section of track.
