Athletic & jogging track construction

Polyurethane and prefabricated rubber running surfaces, from school jogging loops to 400 m eight-lane competition tracks.

The track gives the energy back

A running surface has to do two opposite things: absorb the impact of landing, and return energy to the push-off. Get the balance wrong and athletes either lose time or pick up injuries.

That balance comes from the rubber system and its thickness, laid over a base flat enough that lane times are comparable all the way round.

13 mm competition thickness as standard
Full-pour PU or prefabricated rubber systems
Laser-graded base so all lanes measure true
Jogging loops for schools, parks and campuses

Surface options

Four systems, chosen by site

Which one is right depends on rainfall, hours of play and what is already on the ground.

System 01

Full-pour PU

Poured polyurethane, seamless. The competition standard.

System 02

Spray-coat PU

Rubber base with sprayed PU top. Economical training surface.

System 03

Prefabricated rubber

Factory-made rolls. Consistent, fast to install.

System 04

Jogging track

6–10 mm surface for park and campus loops.

Common questions

Athletic & Jogging Tracks FAQ

How long does a 400 m track take to build?

Around eight to sixteen weeks depending on base condition and weather, since PU needs dry laying conditions.

Full-pour or prefabricated?

Full-pour gives a seamless competition surface. Prefabricated is faster to install and quality is consistent because it is factory-made.

Can a track be laid over an existing one?

Sometimes. If the old surface is bonded and the base is sound, a resurface is possible. We core-test before committing.
