World Athletics Certified Running Tracks from Datra Internusa
March 21, 2022
This time we will explain a sport that may be a favorite of all of our friends, namely running. Running itself is one of the athletic sports regulated by the World Athletics federation, even down to the track, or commonly called the running track. Why is it recommended to run on a standard World Athletics track? Running on a track that is certified by World Athletics can provide extra comfort for runners because of the energy rebound that makes it more resilient when running, and also reduces the risk of injury.
RUNNING TRACK SYSTEM
System-wise, the running track has two installation systems, namely Cast In-Situ and Prefabricated Systems. Both systems are recognized by World Athletics. Datra has products from these two types of systems, for Cast In-Situ systems we have Herculan SR Series products from the Netherlands while for Prefabricated Systems we have Mondo brands from Italy.
MONDO RUNNING TRACK
For running tracks from Mondo, we recommend Sportflex Super X 720 - K 39. The number 39 is the percentage of the ability to reduce the vibration of the running track which is 39% according to World Athletics standards. This product has a thickness of 13.5 mm, making it compatible with running shoes with nails up to 12 mm. In addition, Sportflex Super X 720 - K39 also has Air Cell technology which allows runners to have maximum repulsion or spring power when running. This track has been certified by World Athletics.
HERCULAN RUNNING TRACK
Herculan running track has 3 superior products, namely:
Herculan SR National:
This type is the most basic type for running track from Herculan. Herculan SR National is suitable for running track practice. Consists of a layer of black SBR rubber which is coated with a layer of PU or polyurethane as a coating by spraying. It is more appropriate to use for training running tracks.
Herculan SR Sprint:
Herculan SR Sprint consists of several layers ranging from black rubber sbr which is installed on the asphalt, then the pores are closed with a pore sealer, which is then coated with PU liquid, and spread with colored epdm. Because it has several layers, this type is also known as a running track with a sandwich system which is water impermeable and, usually has a thickness of about 13 mm. This more layer makes the SR Sprint softer than the SR National. We often install this type in various stadiums in Indonesia.
Herculan SR Olympic : Herculan SR Olympic track is the most premium product of Herculan SR. This track is unique because it only has one layer of rubber, namely rubber or rubber epdm in color from bottom to top so there are no layers like SBR and others. This makes the track has a higher level of softness and spring power than the SR Sprint and SR National but on the one hand also makes the price much higher.
WORLD ATHLETICS STANDARDS
The World Athletics standard running track consists of a minimum of 6 tracks (approximately 3000 m2) and it is recommended to have 8 tracks (approximately 4000 m2) for various running events. In addition to the area, there are many technical requirements that must be met in order for your running track and sports arena to be recognized by World Athletics. We are experienced to provide you with a consultation regarding this matter. Please contact us for more information regarding the construction of a World Athletics standard running track.
