Track Events

Track events are athletic competitions that involve running on a flat, oval-shaped track. They include various distances like sprints (short distances), middle-distance, and long-distance races, each testing speed, endurance, and strategy. Some events feature hurdles or obstacles to challenge agility, while others may involve relays, where teams pass a baton to each other. The goal in track events is to complete the race in the shortest time possible or to finish ahead of competitors. These competitions are commonly held at athletic meets, helping to determine the fastest runners in different categories.
