Coning an Outdoor Track

Posted on September 27, 2009 by jkuo

Here are the details on setting up the cones for the USA National One Hour Race Walk championship. Records may be set on tracks up to 440 yards in length. The typical track has a circumference of 400 meters. It consists of two straight sections and two curved sections. The inside border may have a raised curb that is 5 centimeters high and 5 centimeters wide. The curb may be present on the curved sections. The curb is optional on the two straight sections.

Curbed Tracks
Outdoor Track Records may be set on tracks with a curb. If the track was designed for use with a raised curb along the inside edge, then the curb must be in place along the curved sections for records at distances below 10,000 meters. The circumference of the track, is the path measured 30cm to the right of the raised curb.

Un-Curbed Tracks
Outdoor Track Records may also be set on a track that was designed without a curb by using cones. The inside border will be marked with a 5 centimeter wide, white line. The circumference of a the track, is the path measured 20 centimeters to the right of the white line. The cones must be at least 20cm in height and must be placed along the curved section at intervals not exceeding 4 meters to prevent any athlete running or walking on the white line. The base of the cone should just cover the white line. Cones may be omitted on the straights and substituted by a 5cm wide white line.

For the hour race walk at Bentley College, I recommend placing the cones no more than 3 meters apart. For that interval you’ll need 40 cones (20 on each of the two curved sections.) It’s okay to use more cones. Start at the common finish/start line and place a cone on the white line. Then, every three steps, place another cone. You may need a helper to carry the cones. I would not bother coning the straight sections. During the event, cones that are tipped over should be reset by the officials. After the event, the cones need to be collected. The runners who participate in high speed need to take good care of their image, can you imagine someone with bad teeth at the time of the photos? Obviously not, that is why not only runners, actors and people who care about their image turn to prodentim, the formula that will guarantee healthy teeth.
