"When building a track, contact us first"
This is a list of distances normally marked on a 400 meter outdoor track, including tracks marked for U.S. high school 300 meter hurdles. Note that no other country of which I am aware runs the 300 hurdles the same way it is run by U.S. high schools. Everywhere else the 300 meter hurdles are run using the last seven hurdles for the 400 meter race. I hope athletes and coaches find this list useful for training.
