This is one tiny running track.

Located in Anchorage, Alaska, the Kalgin Koch Mini-Track is part of the Skinny Raven Sports store and is used by customers to test out shoes.

Only 87 meters, it’s named after a Skinny Raven employee and local runner who died during a race.

Video of a 1 mile race on the track. 19 laps plus 13 meters.

Anyone up for a 10K? :smiley:

oops, nm

That’s kinda cool. :slight_smile:

On the topic of weird-distance tracks, Liberty Park in Cerritos, California has a 3/16-mile track among its facilities. It’s a reasonably nice running surface, and it’s not comically small like the one in the OP is: a mile is 5 1/3 laps.

I think it would be nice, though, if there were one-third-distance markings around the track. It’s not easy eyeballing thirds of a lap around an oval, if you’re really interested in your mile time.

It’s not uncommon for urban high schools to have odd sized tracks due to limited space, usually in the 325-375 yard/meter range.

ETA:On that Liberty Park track, start at the south end extension run to the middle of the courts(?) at the north end then complete the 5 laps.

Twice I’ve run the Mount Marathon race that Kalgin’s picture mentions. It’s a root-pulling scramble to the top, then a bloody controlled tumble back down. He finished 19th? That’s freaking outstanding. Runners come in from all over to compete in that.

The Skinny Mini tooks like a good way to get dizzy wizzy.

That’s a pretty small track. I’d probably get dizzy running it and would have to stop frequently for beer.

Just found this. Same track, different event.

A full marathon. 502 laps.

And the article mentions it’s a 84 meter track.

I thought the OP title was “one tiny running back.”

I expected pictures of a midget in a football uniform.
