Are you looking to extend the lifespan of your synthetic running track?
Is your city, school, or stadium track starting to look worn out? Regular maintenance, repairs, re-striping and track re-surfacing will ensure your track looks good, remains safe and performs at its best for longer.
Keeping your track running out of landfill is best for everyone. Repair and re-surfacing provides eco-friendly and cost-effective options.
Track Cleaning & Repair
Track Re-surfacing
If your city, school or stadium track needs more help than just a clean or repair, but replacing it is not an option right now, running track re-surfacing could be a great alternative, giving you another 7-10 years of use with significant cost, environmental and time saving benefits.

How to keep your running track in top shape?
REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Keep an eye on high usage areas like the start lines and the inside three lanes as track materials in these spots will naturally wear faster.
CLEAN YOUR SURFACE
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.
WINTER WEAR
Protect your track from the harsh winter weather by gently removing snow and ice promptly without damaging the track surface area and allow a drainage path for melted snow to follow.
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.

8 reasons why re-surfacing your track can be a great idea
COST
Resurfacing your existing track before a full-depth replacement is necessary could cost up to 50% less – saving you money without compromising performance.
LONGEVITY
Resurfacing your track can keep it running for an additional 7-10 years. Coupled with the correct maintenance, the Rekortan Re-surface Series can give your track a lifespan of over 30 years.
ENVIRONMENT
The Gel layer in Rekortan Gel Series tracks is made from up to 84% renewable (plant-based oils) and recyclable content. These eco track credentials become even more sustainable when the product lifetime is extended. Re-surfacing the existing track materials has a much lower environmental cost.
ATHLETE SAFETY
Re-surfacing an old track immediately improves the athlete experience. It restores cushioning, provides optimal force reduction on athletes’ joints and removes any cracks and loose crumb which could lead to falls and injury.
TIME
As well as giving you back years in lifespan, re-surfacing takes your track out of commission for less than a week. If new asphalt is required, completely replacing your track takes at least 30 days. So, on average, re-surfacing ensures that your venue is up and running again 5 times sooner.
DIAMOND LEAGUE QUALITY
Tracks can be re-surfaced to World Athletics elite standards. Venues in the UK including the Manchester Arena and Alexander Stadium in Birmingham have both been resurfaced to Diamond League and Olympic standards.
A SMART DECISION
Rekortan tracks can be re-surfaced with our unique SMART technology. The magnetic gates embedded in the track connect to a sensor worn by the athlete, providing them with advanced diagnostic performance information on force, agility, speed and endurance.
EVERYONE IS DOING IT
From Diamond League and elite World Athletics venues to top U.S. Colleges, Rekortan re-surfaces hundreds of venues each year. Don’t get left behind.
