Reply to "Are all tracks built assuming there will be a curb?"

David,

Apparently some middle school and high school tracks are designed and built with the idea that they will have a curb. I measured one at a middle school close to where I live, and it is 398.12 meters (what it should be if there is a curb). And Pete measured one in Ohio (OH10005PR) that also came out to 398.12. There was never any curb on my middle school track.

But after reading your post I checked the length of the staggers on my track with Google Earth. Lane 1 stagger was only about 4cm shorter than the others. If the staggers were designed for a curb the difference should have been 31cm. When it warms up I'll go out there and measure them for real, but it looks like we might have a mixed bag on this track.
