TRACK EVENTS

FIELD EVENTS

Track events are running events that range from
short sprints to mile-long runs to marathons of
more than 26 miles.
The track hosts a variety of running events that
fall into three broad distance categories: sprints,
middle-distance, and long-distance track events.
Relay races feature teams of four runners who
must pass a baton to their teammate after a
predetermined distance in order to be the first
team to finish. Hurdling and steeplechase events
differ from flat running in that athletes must clear
obstacles on the track during the race.
Track events include sprints, middle distances,
hurdles, and steeplechases. The 400m oval track
serves as the foundation of a multi sports arena,
and its dimensions are determined by the needs of
other sports.
A sporting event in which athletes compete or race
one after the other instead of racing or competing
A together. Field events include strength events like
shot put and discus, as well as throwing events like
T javelin and hammer. Field events are divided into
H two categories: jumping competitions and
throwing competitions. Athletes are measured in
L throwing events by how far they can throw an
implement, with the most common events being
E the shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw.
T The long jump and triple jump are contests that
measure the horizontal distance an athlete can
I jump, whereas the high jump and pole vault are
determined by the height achieved.
