Formula for Length & Breadth

LENGTH

= Straight + 2xMDR + 2x(8Lanesx1.22m)+ Extra space (2x5m)

= 84.39 + 2x36.50 + 2x(9.76) + 10

= 84.39 + 73.00 + 19.52 + 10

= 186.91m

BREADTH

= 2xMDR + 2x(8Lanesx1.22m)+ Extra space (2x5m)

= 2x36.50 + 2x(9.76) + 10

= 73.00 + 19.52 + 10

= 102.52m

Required Field for 400m Track

Length Wise

Space for 16 lanes = 9.76 x 2 = 19.52m

MDR both curves = 36.50 x 2 = 73.00m

Length of Straight = 84.39 = 84.39m

Extra space both sides = 5 x 2 = 10.00m

Total Length = 186.91m

Required Field for 400m Track

Width Wise

Space for 16Lanes = 9.76 x 2 = 19.52m

MDR both curves = 36.50x2 = 73m

Extra space = 5x2 = 10m

Total Width required = 102.52m

186.91 m

Measure the Length and Width of

the given Area

What is Curve Radius?

1 curve = 115.61m

2 curve = 115.61 + 115.61 = 231.22m

2 curves a means a full circle.

Circumference of circle = 2 r

231.22 m = 2 x 3.1416 x r

r = 231.22

6.2832

r = 36.79972

Running distance radius = 36.80m

How to find out the Marking

distance Radius? If the border is cemented or concrete, then

we deduct 30 cm. from the running distance radius. RDR = 36.80 m MDR = RDR – 30 cm. MDR = 36.80 – 30 cm. MDR = 36.50 m If the border is not cemented then we deduct

20 cm. from the RDR. RDR = 36.80 m MDR = 36.80 – 20 cm. MDR = 36.60 m

Center point

Find the Centre Point of the given area by

marking Two Diagonal Lines from each

corner of the Field.

Mark the Straight Line from the Centre

point 42.195 meters towards each end.

2nd hurdle = 22.647 + 79 = 101.647m

3rd hurdle = 101.647 + 79 = 180.647m

4th hurdle = 180.647 + 79 = 259.647m

5th hurdle = 259.647 + 79 = 338.647m

5th hurdle to finish line = 396.084 – 338.647

=57.437m

Distance between 5th hurdle to 1st hurdle = 57.437

+ 22.647 = 80.084m
