Running Track

Running tracks are specially designed paths where professional and amateur athletes can train comfortably and safely. Built according to International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) standards, these tracks feature non-slip, flexible, and impact-absorbing surfaces that enhance athletes’ performance while minimizing the risk of injury.

At Globsan, we build durable, long-lasting, and comfortable running tracks!

Running Track Surface Options

  • Tartan Surface (Polyurethane Coating): Flexible, shock-absorbing, and non-slip surface, ideal for professional tracks.
  • EPDM Surface Coating: Impact-absorbing, non-slip, and flexible surface for long-lasting use.
  • Synthetic Grass Surface: Aesthetic and natural-looking alternative.
  • Asphalt or Concrete Surface: Durable but less performance-oriented option.
  • Natural Surface (Soil or Sand): Designed for athletes who prefer training under natural conditions.

The most suitable surface is selected based on the intended use of the track and the needs of athletes.

Running Track Construction Stages

Globsan’s field teams apply the highest standards to ensure running tracks are durable, comfortable, and safe.

1. Area Planning and Project Design

  1. The length, width, and turning angles of the track are determined.
  2. The number of lanes and total track length are designed.
  3. The most suitable planning is done based on the intended use (professional, amateur, recreational).

For professional competition tracks, projects should be designed according to IAAF standards.

2. Ground Preparation and Infrastructure Works

  1. The track surface is leveled, and slope adjustments are made.
  2. A drainage system is installed to prevent water accumulation.
  3. A stable base layer is applied using gravel, crushed stone, or concrete.
  4. Proper slope adjustments are made to ensure efficient water drainage.

Proper ground infrastructure ensures the longevity of the running track.

3. Surface Coating Application

To enhance the performance of the running track, the appropriate surface coating is applied:

Tartan (Polyurethane) Surface Coating:

  • Two-layer elastic structure with high impact absorption.
  • Resistant to UV rays, wear, and weather conditions.
  • The most preferred system for professional athletics tracks.

EPDM Surface Coating:

  • Provides a flexible, impact-absorbing, and long-lasting surface.
  • Suitable for parks, walking paths, and recreational areas.

Asphalt or Concrete Surface:

  • Durable but less comfortable, often preferred for bike paths.

Natural Surface (Soil or Sandy Surface):

  • Used for cross-country training and natural trails.
  • Requires less maintenance but needs periodic renewal.

The selected coating should align with the intended use of the track.

4. Line Marking and Lane Designation

  1. The track is marked with lane lines according to standards.
  2. Lane widths and turning angles are adjusted for professional use.
  3. Key points such as start and finish lines and curve marks are clarified.

Proper marking ensures the track is easy and safe to use.

5. Lighting and Landscaping

  1. LED lighting systems are installed for night use.
  2. Rest areas, benches, and shaded spots are added for athletes.
  3. The track is secured with perimeter fencing or barrier systems.

Running tracks should be completed with additional features to enhance user comfort.

6. Final Inspections and Delivery

  1. The surface is inspected, and necessary filling and leveling processes are completed.
  2. Drainage systems are tested to ensure proper water discharge.
  3. Lines, lane widths, and slope calculations are checked one last time.
  4. Once the running track is fully prepared, it is handed over for use.
