Running Track Installation Resources
At American Athletic Track and Turf, we know that a running track is only as good as its substructure. We leverage a depth of scientific knowledge to increase running track longevity, performance, safety, value, and even aesthetics. While our first concern is the track owner, we also keep athletes in mind to ensure a strong performance from everyone who steps out onto the track. Located in Southampton Township, NJ, and Haines City, FL, our service areas include Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern Massachusetts, Delaware, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Florida. We’ve built a strong reputation for quality work.
Whitepapers and Resources
How do you get started on the road to a running track? What will you need to know? Begin with these whitepapers and other reliable sources:
Facility Information Guide
To properly assess your facility’s condition, use this Facility Information Guide to understand the extent of repairs needed. The guide also helps you plan a budget and have accurate expectations for the results of the upgrade.
Contractor Evaluator
Our Contractor Evaluator provides a 27-point checklist for your project. The checklist gives you the answers you need quickly when deciding on potential contractors.
Warranties
With a running track warranty of up to 15 years, we make sure owners and taxpayers get the full value of their investment. Learn more in the American Athletic Track and Turf brochure.
Florida Warranties
We offer a special Florida Running Track Platinum Warranty, lasting for either 10 or 15 years. It is the industry’s first and only total protection plan for new running track construction.
Polyurethane Track Respray
Polyurethane artificial track spray can prolong your track’s life, with respraying suggested every five years. Find more information on polyurethane respray.
Porous vs. Nonporous
Porous running tracks allow liquids to move through them, while nonporous tracks are sealed, so liquid and air cannot infiltrate. Learn why sealed running tracks can give your facility an advantage.
Laser-Controlled Asphalt Paving
Achieve proper smoothness, planarity, and density with laser-controlled asphalt paving.
Running Track Bids
Discover the appropriate contractor qualifications for running tracks for our areas of general construction, asphalt paving, and synthetic surfacing.
