Are you looking to extend the lifespan of your synthetic running track?

Are you looking to extend the lifespan of your running track? Is your city, school, or stadium track starting to look worn down? Regular maintenance, repairs and re-stripping will ensure your track looks good, remains safe, performs at its best and lasts longer.

Keeping your track running for longer and out of landfill makes it more eco-friendly and cost-effective.

How to keep your track running in top shape?

REGULAR INSPECTIONS

Keep an eye on high usage areas like the start and finish lines, transition zones and runways as track materials in these spots will naturally wear faster. In humid climates, inspect more frequently for signs of water pooling or surface softening.

CLEAN YOUR TRACK

Regular deep cleaning ensures that your track remains free from damaging debris that could cause stains or harmful buildup of material on your track surface.

EPDM MOVEMENT

Overtime, EPDM granules will become loose and should be periodically removed to prevent them from collecting and obstructing the track drainage.

MANAGE RAISED CURBS

Properly managing raised curbs helps prevent tripping hazards and maintains the integrity of lane boundaries.

MAINTAIN WEEDS

Regularly remove weeds and cut grass at the track edge to avoid damaging the track surface.

REPAIR DAMAGED AREAS PROMPTLY

Addressing damage immediately, such as filling cracks will prevent further deterioration and costly repairs down the line.

RAIN MANAGEMENT & WINTER WEAR

In colder regions, protect your track from the harsh winter weather by gently removing snow and ice promptly without damaging the track surface area. In tropical regions, ensure proper drainage during heavy rains by keeping channels clear and checking for water accumulation after storms.

RESTRIPE WITH ACCURACY

The start line and inside three lanes of a track tend to wear faster due to constant usage. Restricting access or rotating traffic during training sessions can help slow down wear.However restriping when lines have begun to fade is necessary to keep clear lane markings and improve athlete safety and performance.

DESIGNATE CROSSING AREAS

Create clear pathways for crossing traffic and ensure mats or protective coverings are in place to minimize damage to the track.

AVOID STORAGE ON THE TRACK

Refrain from placing benches, goals, chairs, or other equipment on the track surface, and avoid using it for storage.
