More about The Japanese School Track
This running track in Acton was built in 1991 by main contractor Blakedown, and it started out with 5 lanes all the way round at a believed length of 166.53m. Athletic Markings Ltd. painted the lines, finishing on 27th August 1991. The base, or shockpad, is the pre-formed type, delivered to site in rolls and then glued to the macadam, with the usual texture spray on top. The track is red and the infield uses the same type of surface in green, doubling as a football pitch, although the pitch touchlines overlap the outer edge of the outside lane. The more northerly straight runs slightly further east so that 50m races fit. In August 2001 Fox Sports Surfaces resurfaced it and a 6th lane was added by slotting an extra lane inside the original inside lane, with Athletic Markings Ltd. marking it out again. Measured 20cm from the inside line, where there is no curb, lane 1 comes to 159.934m, so virtually 160m. Staggered starts are marked in white for 50m, yellow for 80m and blue for 100m, and the lanes are 1.05m wide. The 2 lane long jump runway was retextured at the same time. The school is for Japanese expatriates and is located in West Acton.
