Facilities

Everyone needs a place to train! This section is devoted to providing information about facilities that offer public access for training. Most public junior high and high schools (and many junior colleges) have tracks that are open to the public when they are not being used by the school or hosting competitions. Some city parks have tracks (check the local Parks and Recreation department). Some private schools and universities also allow public use, but may require permission first. To find a track in an area you are unfamiliar with, try contacting a local track club or running store for suggestions or use Yahoo’s answers site for advice.

Below are indoor and outdoor track facilities listed by state. This list is a work in progress. Please contact us to let us know about training facilities in your area. Send us an email with the location, description, restrictions, cost (if any) and any other information you would like to share. Use “track facilities” in the subject of your email!
