    Hello All!

    I'm a documentary filmmaker (and a runner since high school), and I'm in the research/ pre-production stages of a running documentary. I can't reveal the specific topic just yet, but I am interested in staging some "reenactments" and I am aiming for the greatest possible authenticity. Since much of this film is set in the 1960s, I'm looking for any tracks (400m or 440) with vintage surfaces: dirt, cinders, crushed brick...

    Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!

    Sincerely,

    Brian Rose

    Here's a dirt track I used to run on in San Antonio about six years ago. Appears to still be dirt from this photo.

    Also here's one I used to run on in Macon. It's a one mile dirt track. Ran my first timed mile here when I was a kid.
