Rules and Interpretations of Track Event: 800m - 1500m -3000m - 5000m - 10000m

 

Rules and Interpretations of Track Event: 800m - 1500m -3000m - 5000m - 10000m

1.(Rule 162) The Start

Note (ii): The 800m,1500m, 5000m, 10000m start line, or any other curved start line, may be extended out from the outside lane to the extent that  the same synthetic surface is available.

Start with race by Commend of “On your mark” and Gun shoot.

1.(Rule 163) The Race

2.1n all races including at least one bend, the direction of running and walking shall be left-hand inside. The lanes shall be numbered with the left-hand inside lane numbered 1.

 

Obstruction

1.If an athlete is jostled or obstructed during an event so as to impede their progress, then:

2.If the jostling or obstruction is considered unintentional or is caused otherwise than by an athlete, the Referee may, if they are of the opinion that an athlete (or their team) was seriously affected, in accordance with Rule 18.7 of the Competition. (for one, some or all of the athletes) be re-held or allow the affected athlete (or team) to compete in a subsequent round of the event;

 

Lane Infringement

1.           An athlete, or in the case of a relay event, their team, shall not be disqualified if the athlete:

are pushed or forced by another person to step or run outside their lane or on or inside the kerb or line marking the applicable border, or

 

 

2.     Step or run outside their lane in the straight, any straight part of the diversion from the track for the steeplechase water jump or outside the outer line of their lane on the bend, the 800m event shall be run in lanes as far as the nearer edge of the break line where athletes may leave their respective lanes. The break line shall be an arced line marked after the first bend, 50mm wide, across all lanes other than lane

 

       To assist athletes identify the break line, small cones, prisms or other suitable markers, preferably of different colour from the break line and the lane lines, shall be placed on the lane lines immediately before the intersection of the lane lines and the break line.

CALCULATION OF STAGGER DISTANCE FORMULA FOR STANDARD AND NON STANDARD 400 METERS TRACK

 Calculation of Stagger Distance formula

for Non-standard track

With of the Lane : 1.22 mts

W(N- 1) 2

= 1.22 ( 2-1) x 2 x

                              

= 7.6668                   II Lane = 7.67 mts

Calculation of Stagger Distance for

standard track

 W(N- 1)-.10 x 2

= 1.22 ( 2-1)- .10 x 2 x

                                     

= 1.12x 2x 22 =          II Lane = 7.04 mts

Formula for Lane Number : II To find out the full stagger Distance

Full Stagger + ( RDR of Given lane + 1.12 – RDR of the first lane ) 2

  

CALCULATION OF STAGGER DISTANCE

400 Meters standard Track  Half stagger, Full Stagger and 1¹/₂ Stagger measurements.

Formula Thus, W (N-1)-0.10 x 2  

Lanes	Half Stagger	Full Stagger	11/2 Stagger
1	0	0	0
2	3.52 mts	7.04 mts	10.56 mts
3	7.35 mts	14.71 mts	22.06 mts
4	11.19 mts	22.38 mts	33.57 mts
5	15.02 mts	30.05 mts	45.07 mts
6	18.86 mts	37.71 mts	56.57 mts
7	22.69 mts	45.38 mts	68.07 mts
8	26.53 mts	53.05 mts	79.58 mts

Finding out the CDR and RDR and Marking

 

CONCEPT OF STAGGER: Stagger is a word used in Athletics. It is only used in track events.

Stagger is the change in starting line and end line fair equal for all participants.

EXPLANATION: Stagger is the excess distance covered by the runner from 2^nd lane to 8^th lane on their running path in one lap, when compared to the distance covered by the first lane runner on his running path in one lap.

 Formula for find out the stagger  standard track

                  W(n-1) -0.10  x 2

(W= width of lane n= lane number)

Thus, w(n-1)-.10 x 2  is the formula to calculate the stagger distance of a lane.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

THE FORMULA FOR STAGGER

Half stagger W(n-1) x - 0.10  (for one curved and one straight or 200m)

Full stagger  W(n-1) x-0.10 2  ( for one full standard track)

                 

 

Finding out the CDR and RDR for the Length of the Straight is 84.39 meters in the 400 meters standard track with kerb raised border.

RDR ( Running distance Radius)

CDR (Curve Distance Radius) or (Marking distance Radius)

Length of the Straight     = 84.39

Each straight = 84.39 + 84.39 = 168.78

Both curve length   = 400 -168.78 = 231. 22

One Curve = 231.22/2 = 115.61

2            = 231.22

                 = 22x 7

RDR = 36.80

CR =    36.80- .30cm

 CDR= 36.50     

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finding out the CDR and RDR for the Length of the Straight is 84.39 meters in the 400 meters  Non- standard  track no kerb without raised border.

RDR ( Running distance Radius)

CDR (Curve Distance Radius) or (Marking distance Radius)

Length of the Straight     = 84.39

Each straight = 84.39 + 84.39 = 168.78

Finding out the CDR and RDR  Length of the Straight is 40 meters in the 200 meters  Non- standard  track no kerb without raised border.

RDR ( Running distance Radius)

CDR (Curve Distance Radius) or (Marking distance Radius)

Length of the Straight     = 40

Each straight = 40 + 40 = 80

Both curve length   =  60 + 60 = 120

One Curve = 60
