Track Surfaces: Further Development of WA Certification

World Athletics (WA) has shortened the certification cycles and introduced new testing requirements for running tracks, which recently necessitated transitional regulations for international top-level events.

World Athletics has formulated a specific catalog of requirements for the infrastructure of all competition classes. In athletics, with its many disciplines and extensive mobile and stationary sports equipment, an almost unmanageable wealth of details is described. And the higher the level of competition, the higher the requirements for the precision of markings and facilities. At the same time, the competition facilities for international championships and meetings are larger, and warm-up facilities must also be available.
