How is a track measured?
The track is measured in meters based on the distance of the innermost lane, which is called lane one. Measuring the distance around the track is easy with a little preparation. Some devices measure the distance based on GPS, but using an old-fashioned measuring wheel provides the most accurate reading.
Are running tracks fair?
It would only be fair if every runner runs the same distance so, as the outer tracks run on a greater radius of curvature, the starting positions are not in a straight radial line but are staggered based on length of the curve. (For a 400m, these starting angles are double and on the other curve of the track).
Are all running tracks the same?

Short distances make this easy—simply paint a perpendicular line across the track to denote the starting and finishing points. This works quite nicely for the 100 meter race.
How to make all tracked changes the same color?
