ABOUT

What Is a Spray Coat Running Track?

A Spray Coat Running Track is a synthetic athletics surface system constructed by spraying a mixture of polyurethane binder and fine EPDM rubber granules over an elastic rubber base layer. The result is a textured, non-slip surface that provides excellent traction, impact absorption, and consistent performance.

This system is widely used for:

School and college athletics tracks

Community and recreational running tracks

Training and practice facilities

Multi-purpose sports complexes

WHY SPRAY COAT

Key Benefits of Spray Coat Running Tracks

Durable & Weather Resistant

Designed to withstand Australia’s diverse climatic conditions, spray coat tracks offer excellent resistance to UV exposure, rain, and temperature variations.

Athlete Safety & Comfort

The elastic rubber structure provides effective shock absorption, reducing impact stress on joints while maintaining optimal energy return for runners.

Cost-Effective Solution

Spray coat systems offer an excellent balance between performance and cost, making them ideal for budget-conscious projects without compromising quality.

Seamless & Low Maintenance

The seamless surface prevents water ingress and cracking, resulting in minimal maintenance requirements and long-term durability.

Is a spray coat running track suitable for Australian weather?

Yes. Spray coat running tracks are designed to perform well in Australia’s varied climate conditions. They offer excellent resistance to UV exposure, rain, and temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for outdoor installations across the country.

What is the typical thickness of a spray coat running track?

The total thickness of a spray coat running track system typically ranges between 13 mm and 15 mm, depending on project requirements and base conditions. This thickness provides a balance of durability, shock absorption, and performance.

Is a spray coat track suitable for competitive athletics?

Spray coat running tracks are widely used for school, community, and regional-level competitions. When installed correctly, they provide consistent traction, energy return, and safety for athletes.

How long does a spray coat running track last?

With proper installation and routine maintenance, a spray coat running track can have an expected lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Regular cleaning and timely repairs help extend its performance life.

What maintenance does a spray coat running track require?

Maintenance requirements are minimal. Periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris, inspection for surface wear, and occasional line marking refresh are usually sufficient to keep the track in good condition.

Can the track be customised in colour?

Yes. Spray coat running tracks are available in a variety of standard colours such as red, blue, green, and yellow. Custom colour options are also available to match branding or facility design requirements.

What base is required for a spray coat running track?

A properly prepared asphalt or concrete base is required. The base must be level, structurally sound, and well-drained to ensure long-term performance of the surface system.
