Finish line

CONSTRUCTION MEASUREMENTS Construction radius of curve (including the raised kerb on inside of track) Radius of measurement line (line of running) in lane 1 (0.30m outside raised kerb) Length of each straight section Legth of each bend on construction line (kerb line) Length of each bend along line of running Length of track on construction line (kerb line) Length of track along line of running Width of lanes (including 0.05m on outside) Length of Steeplechase lap along line of running where the water jump is inside the 400m track With the exception of lane 1, all lanes are measured 0.20m out from the outer edge of the inner line. All race distances are measured in a clockwise direction from the edge of the finish line nearer to the start to the edge of the appropriate line farther from the finish. Marking of start, relay and hurdle positions: With measuring tape on straights only; with theodolite on the bends according to the centre angles of the nominal arc segments. Marking with measuring tape on bends only as a backup method: E.g. checking, correcting and supplementing. In each lane, always measure from the start (A,C) or end (B,D) of the arc.
