What do the markings mean on a track?
All lanes are marked by white lines. The line on the right hand side of each lane, in the direction of running, is included in the measurement of the width of each lane. All start lines (except for curved start lines) and the finish line are marked at right angles to the lane lines.
How many m is an indoor track?
Indoor tracks are 200 meters long, while outdoor tracks are 400 meters long, so during indoor meets, the athletes run the same distance with twice as many curves.
What's the difference between indoor and outdoor track?
The track is bigger
During the indoor season, athletes race on a 200-meter track. During the outdoor season, athletes race on a 400-meter track. The bigger track means new events.
