Does anyone know what the conversion is from a 300m track to a 200m track or the other way around. For all the events 200-5k. Thanks

As a rough guide...
300m track - 200m track
200m - 200m
400m - 400m
800m - 800m
1500m - 1500m
1 mile - 1 mile
3000m - 3000m
2 mile - 2 mile
5000m - 5000m
Give or take a few centimetres obviously.

check out the different indoor national qualifying standards the NCAA has for 200 and 300 meter tracks to get a sense.
I have done that but I was wondering if there is a formula that I could use for converting school records and such. How do the people who do the qualifying standards get their marks? They have to use some sort of formula, dont they?

I'm pretty sure they don't use a formula. They just take off a certain amount of time per event, no matter how fast you run. I'd guess you can take close to a second off of your 400m time and a full second off of your 800m time if you run on a 300m track versus a flat 200m track.
It has to be more scientific than that? Sorry if I sound like a pest but that just doesnt make any sense to me. Anyone?

you can't get much faster than a 300m indoor track- i.e. iowa state, etc. there's no wind and temps are perfect.
Thank but I dont think that will work. Anyone else?
I am curious about this too... any help out there?
I have looked everywhere. Cant anyone help me?
