How long does it take to walk 200 Metres?

Although a little slower than normal, this is a reasonable time period for someone to walk 200 metres and therefore Mr X can complete the activity in a reasonable time period’. This again does not make sense, as at 30 minutes per minute it would take Mr X at least 6.66 minutes to walk 200 meters.

What does 200m mean in track?

What is the width of track?

Wheel track, track width or simply track refers to the distance between the centerline of two wheels on the same axle. In the case of an axle with dual wheels, the centerline of the dual wheel assembly is used for the wheel track specification. Axle and wheel track are commonly measured in millimetres or inches.

Where does 200m start and finish on a track?

For the 200m race, runners start on the curved section at the right of the diagram and run anticlockwise to the finish line at the top left. As the outer lanes are longer than the inner lanes, a staggered start is needed so that at the finish line all runners have run the same distance.
