running tracks

Looped athletic surfaces

Running tracks are oval surfaces designed for foot races, typically 400 meters around with lanes marked for competitors.

Most are surfaced with rubberized material for cushioning and traction.

The phrase also refers to the activity itself: She does her training on running tracks rather than roads.

Indoor tracks are shorter, usually 200 meters.
