Track Etiquette is very important, please strictly adhere to (but don’t be intimidated by) the guidance below:
Be aware of the activities of other users and avoid hindering their training. If required, agree to share the track without impeding other athletes or groups’ activities. Hurdles and other training aids may be being used. Be practical and helpful, avoid interference with others.
Be prompt when preparing to start your session and never be an obstruction to others on the track. Remove yourself from active training areas as soon as practical.
Run counter-clockwise, unless recovering or warming up in outer lanes.
During sessions stay in lane. If using lane 1, stay close to the inside of the track. Sprint sessions may use parts of outer lanes for designated workouts. Accommodate both sprint and distance repetition sessions.
Use the track back straight outer lanes or grassy areas for jogs, recovery phases, warm up and warm down, but take into consideration sprinters and sprint group using outer lanes. Strides are allowed on the track and must be run anti-clockwise.
When passing other athletes allow reasonable space.
When finishing a repetition, get out of inner lanes. Be aware, look behind and move to recovery phase lanes or to the track infield so as to not interfere with other runners.
Do not stop or linger on the track. Always run through the finish, at the end of an interval, and off the track (normally) to the right
Never cross the infield, even if no infield activity is being undertaken, unless competing or part of a throws group upon request of a throws coach. Never walk in front of the throwing cage or javelin run-up. Best practice is to never cross the infield. You must stay outside the safety ropes even if it doesn’t look dangerous at the time.
A call of, ‘Track!’ is the prescriptive polite way to warn others they need to respond to avoid hindrance to a workout. The call implies you are not abiding to these track and field etiquettes. Promptly look and move out of the expected course of the athletes calling the warning. Generally this will be out of inner lanes or finishing line area.
Earphones or other such electronic devices are not to be used whilst using the track or taking part in field activities. Move to the grass area outside of the track.
