More about St. Mary's University College Track
The college is the base of the Endurance High Performance Centre and work started in 2004 on upgrading the track to a 6 lane synthetic one. It was officially opened by Dave Bedford on 11th May 2005. The track was previously the first complete artificially surfaced track in the UK and was laid in about 1960/1961 and was thought never to have been altered from 440 yards. Prior to that it was cinder. The 1960s one was made of Trinitrack, a bitumen/rubber mixture that could only take a spike in warm weather. When visited in 2001, most of the field-event facilities were unusable and the S/C water jump pit had been filled in and the barrier removed. It was 6 lanes all round but a path had been built over lanes 5 and 6 in one corner which restricted the track to 4 complete lanes. The Trinitrack surface was also missing from the far edge of the track around the majority of the track. The track is in the locality of Strawberry Hill.
