It is run on the straightaway of the track. Very similar to the m, but success in this event requires additional strength to enable the athlete to maintain a fast pace over the entire meter distance.
The majority of short sprinters compete in both events. The long sprint. This event requires a combination of speed, strength and tolerance for pain. The fast pace the athletes run usually results in the formation of lactic acid by the meter mark, which causes a sensation of burning and fatigue in the muscles. It is one full lap of a standard size outdoor track. A "tweener" event. There are m specialists but athletes in this event usually either are good sprinters who can run both the m and m, or they have good endurance and can run both the m and m well.
This event requires excellent natural endurance, as well as good speed for a strong finish. It is two laps around a standard outdoor track. The "metric mile. It requires the same basic skill set with some added strength and endurance to cover the additional distance. One of the barriers is placed in front of a water pit that must also be negotiated on each lap.
Unlike the lightweight hurdles used for the hurdling events, these heavy wooden barriers will not budge if hit. Some steeplechasers hurdle the barriers cleanly, but most step on them with one foot to clear them. Steeplechasers are usually also very capable m runners. Exceptional endurance is required, as is a healthy amount of speed for the intense race to the finish line frequently seen in 5k races.
This is the longest event contested solely on the track. It is for those who have the strongest cardio-pulmonary systems capable of keeping enough oxygen flowing to the muscles while maintaining a punishing pace for 6.
An all out sprint while traversing 10 hurdles placed between the start and the finish. The men's event is 10 meters longer and the hurdles are higher. The men's event is sometimes called the high hurdles. Also known as the intermediate hurdles, this event requires the speed of a sprinter, the strength of an meter runner and the technical skill of a or meter hurdler.
This race also involves ten hurdles, but unlike the short hurdle race where runners will use the same lead leg and trail leg over each hurdle, in the intermediate hurdles they must be able to use either leg as their lead leg.
Four athletes each run approximately m or one quarter of the track. It is not just the speed of the runners, but the precision of their baton passes that determines how well the team does. Each baton exchange must be made within a marked zone on the track.
Failure to exchange the baton in the zone results in disqualification. For the 4 x m, the baton pass is usually "blind" meaning that the outgoing runner does not look at the baton but extends her hand back to receive it while running close to maximum speed and facing forward.
Relay Traditionally, this is the last event contested at most track meets. Each athlete runs one full lap and exchanges the baton in a zone near the finish line. For this relay the outgoing athlete generally turns his face and watches the baton exchange.
The incoming athlete, who is finishing the final meters of a tough m, is usually quite tired so the outgoing athlete has to accelerate to racing speed while being cautious not to go too fast before getting the baton.
Both race walking events are endurance events and usually contested on a road course. Race walk requires a complex physical motion involving the feet, legs, hips, back and arms. A primary rule of race walking is that at no time can both feet be in the air at the same time.
Judges watch for this running motion and disqualify athletes who accidentally allow one foot to leave the ground before the other has landed. This event requires exceptional endurance and cardiovascular ability, not only for the competitions, but also for the training involved to be successful in this event.
Long Jump. The hurdles are placed so that the edge of the bar nearest the approaching athlete coincides with the edge of the track marking nearest the athlete. Section 2. IAAF technical regulations.

Athletics Track and field facilities are usually designed as multi-purpose facilities tracks with playing fields inside. Track events Track events include sprint, middle distance, hurdle and steeplechase events.
The competition area for track events includes the following: Oval track with at least four lanes and safety zones measuring no less than 1m on the inside and outside. Straight with minimum of six lanes for sprints and hurdles. Steeplechase track as for oval track with a permanent water jump. There are three basic types of track surface—synthetic, unbound mineral cinder and grass.
All lanes are marked by white lines. The line on the right hand side of each lane, in the direction of running, is included in the measurement of the width of each lane. All start lines except for curved start lines and the finish line are marked at right angles to the lane lines. Immediately before the finish line, the lanes are marked with numbers with a minimum height of 0. All markings are 0. All distances are measured in a clockwise direction from the edge of the finish line nearer to the start to the edge of the start line farther from the finish.
