10/25   How far is 1 lap around Martin Luther King Junior High
        track in Berkeley?  thanks. - danh
        \_ Trust no one.  Measure straight sections with laser rangefinder
           measure radii also, compute distances.
        \_ if it's a standard track, it should be a quarter mile (400m)
           \_ This is what I have been told.  How do I know if it's a
              standard track? - danh
              \- the dwight derby track is THE STANDARD ... you can
                 calibrate to it.
        \_ It is a standard high school track.  Likely 440yds, not 400m
           (high school track events are by/large still in yds/miles)
           \_ 440 yards = 402 meters.
        \_ Having attended MLKJr.H.S. I can tell you it is *not* a standard
           size, due to issues with the size of the available space.  When we
           would run a mile, we were supposed to do 4 laps, plus about 2/3
           the length of a straightaway.
