Run-Up Tracks & Marker

For long or high jumps and long throws, a good run-up is essential, because only then the body or the throwing device can be accelerated optimally. Kübler Sport offers you high-quality run-up marker & run-up tracks in various lengths and strengths and start squares for flexible run-up design for training and competitions, even outside a stadium.

Nothing works without Run-Up Tracks & Marker

The run-up is a fundamental part of almost every technical discipline in athletics. No matter if javelin throw, high jump, long jump, pole vault or triple jump, the run-up enables the athlete to accelerate to the right running speed for an optimal jump or throw. This results in better power and energy transmission, which means that the jump or throw can reach a greater width or height.

How long is a run-up?

The length of the run-up varies from athlete to athlete depending on how fast the athlete accelerates and how long his stride is: some athletes have a relatively short run-up, others need a longer distance to reach the right speed. The length of the run-up can be measured either with a tape measure or with feet or spear lengths.

The international competition rules stipulate minimum dimensions and lengths for the run-up track for the individual disciplines:

• High jump run-up: 16x15m or 16x25m (international events)
• Pole vault run-up: at least 40m, if conditions allow, 45m better
• Long jump run-up: at least 40m, if conditions allow 45m better
• Triple jump run-up: at least 40m, if conditions allow 45m better
• Javelin run-up: at least 30m, or 33.50m (international events) and if conditions allow 36.50m
