That's awesome. It looks really well kept. There's a similar track at Trinity University in Dublin, but it isn't quite as nice as that one looks.
Nice. Would love to run on a track like that. If, you know, I actually did any running these days.
That's beautiful. Now when's Nick Willis gonna cook a 1:44 on that bad boy?
So when they have a meet on that thing is it a track meet or XC?
It's a grass track. You can probably work it out from there.
Not a thirteen and it breaks to the right .

In America it would be XC. In Ethiopia it would probably be the smoothest track in the country, at least until Kenenisa Bekele finishes building his new track.
I would love to see Usain Bolt and the big dogs in sprinting run a 200M on a grass track like this!
There is a grass track in Cape Town S. Africa I got to train on a few times. It's at some small high school. Perfect for training!

I think this is currently the best stadium in Ethiopia.

I thought that you didn't like soft surfaces (or at least didn't think that they were advantageous to run on in any way) and preferred to run on cement ? Wouldn't a cement track excite you more?
Someone could take a divot out of that track and then you might sprain an ankle, right?
(yes, I am mostly being facetious)

What in the hell is going on in the last picture???
That track's in nice shape. I wonder how much running gets done on it. I grew up in Oz on grass tracks (1980s). Nowadays, they've just about all been replaced with synthetic.
that's awesome, but it must get ripped to shreds with spikes
If I ever win a big lottery jackpot I'm building a track like that in my back yard.
Unless it is raining barefoot is the way to go on grass above 400.
