On a quarter mile track?
Posted by: Let me ask you this ()

If I decide to jog on an athletic track that is divided into 8 lanes and jog on the 8th lane is every revolution more then 1/4 mile? Where is the 1/4 mile measure far out or closes in?

The inner lane is 1/4 mile (400 meters). When you see a race, that is why the runners on the outside start the race further ahead.

Which begs the question...

What IS the distance around in the outer most lane?

Measure the distance from start point 1 to start point 8 and add onto the quarter mile and that should be the circumferance of outer lane. If you run 2 miles, multiply that difference by 4 and that is how much further then 2 miles you ran.

According to this...probably about 1/20th of a mile
