In keeping with the "How long is lane 8" thread, I'm curious as to the sorts of really weird tracks people have run on in the past (there was a similar thread on this last year, but I think that was for indoor. Anyway...)
For me, the oddest has to be the square cinder track that surrounded the baseball field at Sauquoit Valley HS here in cnetral NY (1970's). Very weird, and also lumpy as I recall. Long gone for many a year, I happily note, replaced with something better! I also ran on a 1/5th mile track (I think it was Little Falls HS). Splits were just plain confusing. Indoors, there was the indoor track at Univ of Roch (about 210 yards as I recall). Far corner went through a tunnel and was squared-off. Does anybody know if they still have that? Also ran on the banked wooden track at SU (Manley). Never liked it, too short.
