Floor Coverings for athletics tracks

The perfect basis for competition and training?

Granules flooring for athletics Tracks

High-quality athletics tracks for top performance

Athletics running tracks must meet a wide variety of requirements. For athletes, an athletics track must offer optimum sport-functional, mechanical properties, such as slip resistance, spike resistance, good grip and optimum damping. For a sports facility operator, an athletics track must combine the decisive specifications with durability and a long service life. For an installation company, the flooring of athletics tracks must offer the best balance between price and quality. 

To meet these diverse requirements for athletics tracks on an equal footing, high-quality EPDM granules are required for the floor covering. Adequate EPDM granules ensure permanent elasticity, long-term stability and optimum properties such as force reduction and vertical deformation.

Do athletics tracks always have to be red?

Athletics tracks are traditionally red because they used to be laid out with “red ash” made from brick dust. When the first synthetic athletics tracks became established as so-called “tartan tracks” in many sports facilities, red became the standard color and “tartan tracks” became synonymous with running tracks. 

Break with this tradition, because today red is just one of many color options. With GEZOFLEX, you have a free choice of colors! Choose from 22 standard colors and add color to your athletics tracks with GEZOFLEX EPDM granules! 

Whether you choose one of our blue shades or something unusual - your running track will be a unique eye-catcher!
