what is the distance of a one lap around a track and field track?

It depends on the track, and if you're talking inside, outside, or middle lanes. For example, the local outdoor high school track is 1/4 mile on the inside lane. But the YMCA has a track that is 1/14 mile on the outside track, and 1/16.25 on the inside track.

Doing American football fields, goal line to goal line is 100 yards. A mile is 1760 yds so 17.6 football fields. If the football field has a running track around it, that's a 1/4 mile per lap.\n\nA kilometer is about 1093 yards or 11 football fields. On the running track thats just about 2 1/2 laps.

I've never seen a 100 meter track... the link above is of a 400 meter track.  The straight side is what is used for a 100 meter race.

On a 6200 yard course, that's about 3.5 miles.  Factor in walking between greens and tees and let's add another 60 yards a hole so that's about .6 miles, so we're up to 4.1 miles.  Now consider that courses are measured in a straight line from mid tee to front of green and consider I hit the damn ball all over the place, let's take that 4.1 miles and multiply it by a factor of 1.3, so we're up to 5.3 miles.  And consider that often balls are oddly hit in the woods or whatever danger lurks around the fairway and you need to tromp back and forth, back and forth, avoiding snakes and other hostile creatures and that's another .5 miles.  So we're up to 5.8 miles.  And finally imagine that since you have other obstacles like lakes and creeks that require you to veer from the straight and narrow and you have to wander around the green pretending you have a clue which way the putt will break, let's add another .3 miles.  So we're up to 6.1 miles.  And just for good measure, let's assume you have to walk to and from the car to the clubhouse then out to the first tee and let's call that .15 miles.  So I guess about 6.25 miles.  Since you ought to play that in about 4 hours, that's pretty good aerobic exercise.

it depends on where you start from. in track and field events, the start is staggered, and the inside lane starts a good distance further back from the outside lane, so that they all finish at the same spot.

It varies depending on the track and type of race. They get going up to 80 mph though.

This is all I could come up with, I hope it helps\nhttp://www.runnersworld.co.uk/events/foundevents.asp?evntTitle=&evntDate=a%3Afut&distance=10&county=&area=&evntSurface=&sp=368437286737406642624&v=2

Go to Google, search on: "running track" surface\n\nYou will get links to a number of manufacturers web sites.\n\nI've included some of the links below.

The 100 yard dash is no longer contested.  It has been replaced by the international distance of 100 meters.\n\nThe world record in the 100 yard dash was set by Bob Hayes with a time of 9.1 seconds and later tied by Jim Hines.

If it is fairly new it is probably 400 meters, but it used to be 1/4 mile. There isn't much difference, but it is a lot if you are training for a mile run.

I think almost all tracks are a quarter mile. I've always had to do 4 laps when running the mile.

Well, the standard track gauge is 4' 8 1/2", so with ballast I would guess somewhere close to ten feet give or take.  However, it also depends on how wide the entire right-of-way is as well.

It depends how many lanes the track have and how wide are the lanes. bleow is an example of a 8 laned track with 1.25m width between each lane.\n\nLane 1: 400m\nLane 2: 407.85m\nLane 3: 415.70m\nLane 4: 423.56m\nLane 5: 431.41m\nLane 6: 439.26m\nLane 7: 447.12m\nLane 8: 454.97m

That depends on your athletic ability.  Pro football players and Olympic track stars can run the 40 anywhere between 4.2 and 4.6 seconds.  Average athletes should be around 5.0-5.3 seconds.

If it's outside the U.S.  or in the U.S. and it was built within the last 25 years or so, it is probably 400 meters.\n\nThey haven't been building 440 yd tracks in years.\n\nOne way to tell is to look at the starting marks for the 400 meters. If it is the same place as the finish line, then it's a 400 meter track. If it is 2+ yards away from the starting line, then it's 440 yds.

Track dimensions are going to vary. Most run about 110 yds on the straightaways and 110 yds on each of the turns which give you a radius of 35 yd.\n\nAccording to one rules document that I found, a standard 400m track is going to have curves with radius of 36.5 meters.\nThat gives you total distance on the curves of 229 m. That would make the straightaways 85.5 meters long.\n\n400m = 437.44 yds
