Soka University completed a resurfacing of the track & field complex with the installation of a new Rekortan SmartTrack surface on the 8-lane oval. The layout is set up to provide a gentle tailwind from the Pacific Ocean down the home stretch in the late afternoon. 
The facility is a European-style set-up with all field events contested on the infield of the track. The facility includes a 130’ pole vault runway and 156’ long and triple jump runway (with take-off systems at 8’, 30’ and 36’). Both venues benefit from a predominantly gentle westward tailwind.
The discus is set up for throwers to benefit from a right quarter wind. All circles are brushed concrete.  The javelin is thrown from the Rekortan surface adjacent to the high jump. Both are set up to benefit from a slight tail wind.

SPIKES  ¼” maximum spikes for all events.
