Question

What are the main track rules?

Answer 1

Main track rules:

• Follow the starter’s commands and do not make a false start; a false start in a sprint can result in disqualification.
• Use starting blocks in races up to and including 400 m, but not in longer races.
• In lane races, remain in the assigned lane; leaving the track or stepping on the lane line may result in disqualification.
• Do not obstruct another runner.
• The torso determines the order of finishing, and time is recorded as the athlete finishes.
