How to Draw a Running Track
Draw a running track in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the outside edge.
Step 1: The outside edge
Draw a big loop across your paper: a straight top and bottom joined by a round curve at each end.
Tip The two round ends are half circles the same size.
Step 2: The inside edge
Inside it draw a smaller loop the same shape, leaving a wide band all the way round.
Step 3: Middle lane line
Draw another loop halfway between the two edges, all the way round the band.
Step 4: Four lanes
Draw 2 more loops, one in each half of the band. Now the track has 4 lanes.
Step 5: Finish line
On the bottom straight draw 2 lines close together across all 4 lanes, from edge to edge.
Step 6: The field
In the middle of the track draw a long box that does not touch the inside edge.
Step 7: Halfway line and circle
Draw a line down the middle of the box, from top to bottom. Add a small circle in the centre.
Step 8: End boxes
At each end of the field draw a small box, starting and stopping on the end line.
Step 9: Orange track
Colour all 4 lanes orange. Leave the thin finish line white.
Step 10: Green grass
Colour everything inside the track green. Go over your lines and your running track is ready to race!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a running track, drawn by you.
