The dimensions of a standard speed skating rink. The measurement of the track is made half a meter into the lane. [4] The total length of the track is the distance a competitor skates each lap, i.e. the length of two straights, one inner curve and one outer curve, in addition to the extra distance skated when changing lanes in the cross-over area, which on a standard track equals 7 centimeters.

Track gauge or rail gauge (also known as track gage in North America [8]) is the distance between the inner sides (gauge sides) of the heads of the two load bearing rails that make up a single railway line. Each country uses different gauges for different types of trains.
The proper length of the first lane of a competitive running track is 400 m (1,312.3 ft). Some tracks are not built to this specification, instead being a legacy to imperial distances such as 440 yd (402.336 m), equivalent to a quarter of a mile.
The term N gauge refers to the track dimensions, but in the United Kingdom in particular British N gauge refers to a 1:148 scale with 1:160 (9 mm or 0.354 in) track gauge modelling. The terms N scale and N gauge are often inaccurately used interchangeably, as scale is defined as ratio or proportion of the model, and gauge only as a distance ...
New Balance Nationals Indoor (NBNI), formerly known as the National Scholastic Indoor Championships (NSIC), are one of two American high school national championship indoor track and field meets, along with Nike Indoor Nationals. High school participants from across the country compete for the honor of being named NSIC high school All-America.
Dimensions indicated are track pitch (p), pit width (w) and minimum length (l), and laser spot size (⌀) and wavelength (λ). For comparison with analogue media, the pitch of the spiral of a 240-groove-per-inch long-playing record and a Laserdisc are 106 μm (66 times the CD track pitch) and 4.6 μm (2.9 times), respectively.

Before 1987, the 60 yards hurdles – held over 60 yards (54.864 m) – was contested at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships and other high-level American competitions. It was replaced by the 55 m hurdles from 1987 to 1990 before finally being replaced with the 60 m hurdles at the 1991 edition. Because the distances are so similar, a ...
