What is the length of a standard high school track?
Many high school outdoor tracks are about 400 meters (four laps per mile). Most indoor tracks are shorter, around 200 to 100 meters (eight and sixteen laps per mile, respectively). It depends on your school. Most outdoor tracks at high schools are around 400 meters (if you run four laps when you run the mile in PE this is how long your track is). Most indoor tracks are smaller, only 200 or 100 meters (eight or sixteen laps per mile, respectively). If you want to know a more exact answer, ask your PE teacher or someone on the track team (they'll definitely know!).
