When working with competitive athletics, the priority is safety. And whether you are working with a high school, university, or community athletics system, cost is another consideration. Synthetic track surfaces are comfortable, useful, and safer than many other surfaces. These surfaces are fairly uniform, easy to measure, and ideal for time trials. They are an ideal choice for busy track and field programs because of their durability, as well.
With over 25 years of experience, American Athletic Track and Turf provides running tracks for schools and other organizations throughout the East Coast. Our experienced team includes American Sports Builder’s Association (ASBA) Certified Track Builders.
Choose Synthetic Track Surfaces for Athletics Program Safety
Runners and other track athletes are offered more cushioning for joints and bones with synthetic track surfaces. American Athletic Track and Turf use surfaces manufactured by Beynon Sports, as this helps reduce the force with which feet strike the track while running or sprinting. These athletic surface products provide more resilience, but not so much cushion that speed is hindered.
In general, synthetic track surfaces provide an easier landing for athletes who fall while running and jumping. And athletes are less likely to slip because the surfaces dry quickly and even form a slight grip on the shoe. There are fewer chances of suffering stress fractures, muscle strains, shin splints, and concussions with softer synthetic track surfaces.
There are several other reasons than safety for choosing synthetic track surfaces for your school or institutional athletic facility. If you already have an asphalt surface, a sealant or other product can help preserve the life of the track and provide a softer surface for athletic performance. However, most track athletes prefer a high-quality synthetic surface for training and competition. And these synthetic surfaces are also resistant to heat and cold weather damage.
Take Advantage of Co-op Pricing for Surface Materials
If you are ready to protect your athletes and provide a state-of-the-art synthetic track surface for your institution, savings are possible with our SmartBuy Co-op Purchasing Program. The SmartBuy program brings together multiple cooperative purchasing agencies across the country. This purchasing power allows customers to purchase running tracks with preferential pricing.
These savings can be realized without going through a lengthy bid process, which also saves your school time and money. When schools accept low-cost bids, they are likely signing up for low-quality products, as well. Contracting with our vertically integrated construction company allows school systems to use the best products on the market for long-lasting performance. We work with you to help design the perfect track facility for your site and budget.
In addition, American Athletic Track and Turf provide full repair and maintenance services. This helps protect both your investment and your athletes by keeping the track facility in good condition. These services for synthetic track surfaces include:
- Cleaning and edging
- Resurfacing in areas of high use
- Clearing of trench drainage systems
- Routine patching, restriping, and refilling
- Replacing areas with damage
What’s more, our running track projects come with warranties for added peace of mind.
