More about track events
Track events form an important part of athletics. Think of sprinting, middle-distance, long-distance, hurdling, relay and steeplechase. Different sports-technical materials are needed for these disciplines, depending on the discipline and the level at which training takes place or competitions are organised.
W&H supplies materials for track events to athletics clubs, schools, municipalities and sports facilities. The range includes, among other things, starting blocks, competition hurdles, steeple hurdles, water jumps and transport trolleys.
Starting blocks are used for sprint events and other running disciplines where a powerful and stable start is important. They give athletes grip and support when pushing off from the starting position.
A good starting block must be sturdy, adjustable and reliable. For clubs and schools, it is important that starting blocks are suitable for different athletes and can be set easily.
Competition hurdles are used in official hurdle events and must be stable, safe and practically adjustable. The correct height and placement are important for a proper competition setup.
W&H supplies competition hurdles for athletics tracks, clubs and schools. The hurdles are suitable for training and competitions and can be combined with transport trolleys for storage and moving.
Steeple hurdles are used in steeplechase. These hurdles are made sturdier than regular competition hurdles, because athletes jump over them during the race or can lean on them.
A steeple hurdle must be stable and robust. The correct version is important for safety, competition use and long-term application at the athletics facility.
The water jump is a fixed part of steeplechase. Athletes jump over a steeple hurdle and then land in or alongside the water jump. The layout of this zone must be safe, correct and suitable for competition.
W&H supplies water jumps for steeplechase and is happy to think along about the right application on the athletics track. In doing so, placement, dimensions, finishing and connection to the track are considered.
Transport trolleys ensure that hurdles can be moved and stored easily. This subcategory includes transport trolleys for steeple hurdles and transport trolleys for competition hurdles.
A good transport trolley saves time when setting up and clearing away training sessions and competitions. In addition, it helps to store equipment clearly and limit damage.
Materials for track events are used for training sessions, club competitions, school sports, regional competitions and official athletics events. The right materials ensure a safe, efficient and professional layout of the athletics track.
We supply both sports-technical installation materials and practical aids for storage, transport and daily use.
