Track & Field regulations
Sprint
Runners need to stay within their assigned lanes throughout the race. Any runner who goes out of their assigned lane will be disqualified.
Middle distance running
All runners are required to stay within their assigned lanes, but only within their first run. They can always shift lanes afterward. For those doing the 1500m race, there are no designated lane assignments for runners.
Long jump
All jumps are measured from the take-off line to the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of the body.
A failed attempt occurs when:
The athlete touches the ground beyond the take-off line upon executing the jump.
The athlete takes off from outside either end of the take-off board.
In the course of landing, he touches the ground outside the landing area closer to the take-off line than the nearest break made in the sand.
