How many laps is it on a 400 meter track for 5 miles? 5 mi = 8047 m 8047 / 400 = 20.1 5 miles would be just over 20 laps on a 400 m track.

In Track and Field. Since the standard for tracks built in the last 20+ years is 400M, then you must go 9.344 meters further than 4 laps. Over 90% of the outdoor tracks in existence are only 400M … and will thus require the extra 9.344 meters to equal a true mile.

Track workouts are planned training sessions on a track where a runner alternates fast and slow running. Track workouts include sessions like “8 X 200 meters with 2 minutes rest.” This translates into doing 8 repeats of 200 meters (half of a 400 meter lap) with 2 minutes of rest in between each interval.

How many laps around a track is 1000 meters?   One lap is 400 meters, two laps is 800 meters, and   two and a half laps is 1000 meters.

Step 2. ENTER THE LANE WIDTH of lanes on the track (they should all be the same width). While the best tracks (IAAF, Olympic, etc.) have lanes that are 1.22m to 1.25m wide, most high school and college tracks have lane widths measured in inches (e.g., 42). See NOTE 5 for information on how to measure lane width.

If needed, multiply feet by .3048 to obtain the average distance in meters. Most outdoor tracks are 400 meters (1312' 4) or 440 yards (1320' 0 or 402.336 meters). Most indoor tracks are 200 meters (656' 2) or 220 yards (660' 0 or 201.168 meters). If your own measurement is fairly close to one of these numbers, you can probably assume the track is of a standard size.

LANE 8. For example: You want to cover 5 miles on the track in Lane 8, and need to know how many laps you must complete to do it. To find the answer, enter 5 as the distance and select miles as the unit of measure -- then click on the calculation button.

But not all lanes are created equal, so knowing how to calculate the distance around a track by lane is helpful. For example, if you run in the outside lane of a standard 400-meter track, you add over 53 meters to the distance of each lap, or about 13 percent. Step 1. Find out the length of the running track. Most outdoor tracks are 400 meters around the innermost lane. However, some tracks are different lengths. Indoor tracks may be one-tenth of a mile or even less. If you aren't sure, ask the facility staff for information about the length of the track.

If it's a 400 meter track (which is one standard size) then four laps around the track is approximately a mile.

Step 1. ENTER THE TRACK SIZE (i.e., the distance covered when completing one lap-normally in Lane 1) and select the unit of measure. most outdoor tracks are either 400 meters or 440 yards (4 laps to a mile) most indoor tracks are either 200 meters or 220 yards (8 laps to a mile) See NOTE 3 for determining track size.
