If your running track is showing signs of wear such as fading lane lines or is beginning to show cracks, it might be time to consider resurfacing. Running Track Resurfacing is an excellent option to extend the life of your running track while maintaining a safe and quality surface for athletes. Resurfacing your existing polyurethane track with a quality structural spray system can give the track a renewed look and feel for years to come.

The Condition of the Underlying Asphalt

A professional evaluation should always be conducted before determining whether your track needs repair, resurfacing or replacement. The state of the asphalt layer underneath your resilient track is critical to its long-term integrity. Quality asphalt should last 20 to 25 years, but environmental conditions and abuse from users can quickly call for a replacement.

One of the key signs that your asphalt may need to be replaced is structural cracks throughout the entire track. These cracks will typically begin on the outside or inside edges and run perpendicular to the track’s lanes. These cracks are a sign that the asphalt under your resilient track is degrading and will not hold up to any further use.

Another important sign that your track is ready for resurfacing is if you’re finding standing water on the surface. Standing water can prevent the track from draining properly and create an unsafe environment for athletes. As part of our resurfacing service, we can perform full drain maintenance to ensure water is flowing freely off the track and away from your athletic field.
