Questions About The Running Track

What hours is the Running Track open?
This area is open whenever the Student Recreation Center is open.

How many laps to the mile?
If you were to run, jog or walk on the inside lane, it would take you 13.7 laps to reach one mile traveled.

Can I take my baby carriage with me on the track?
Yes, provided the track is not crowded.

Why do you require participants to travel in the same direction?
Safety concerns. We don't want people running into one another.

Why do you run in different directions on consecutive days?
It is easier on the knee, ankle and foot joints. Our track has a hard surface and is a short track requiring more time traveled on the curves.
