Lanes shall have the same width with a recommended minimum of 42'' and a maximum of 48'' including the white line to the right. Lanes shall be marked on both sides by white lines 2'' wide. The lanes shall be numbered with lane one on the left when facing the finish line. The track may be bordered on the inside by a curb of concrete, wood or suitable material a minimum of 2'' in height and width. The edges of the curb shall be rounded. Prevailing wind conditions should be considered when constructing running tracks. Jonathan, the 1/4 stat.ml. running track of the NCAA, is 4h/m 2-/m 3 di/m 3 c/m 7 m/m long. It therefore follows that the International Amateur Athletic Federation�s 4 h/m race can easily fit onto the NCAA track. NCAA RUNNING TRACK 1/4 stat.fur. race or 5 da/m race 1/2 stat.fur race or 1 h/m race 1 stat.fur. race or 2 h/m race 1/4 stat.ml. race or 4 h/m race 1/2 stat.ml. race or 8 h/m race 1 stat.ml. race or 1 k/m 6 h/m race Info @ http://www.weights-and-measures.com And topic: Common Linear Measure Napoleon Emperor�s Republic of Europe Decadent Linear Measure
