Porous EPDM Running Track Professional Training Grade Sports Running Track
Key Advantages: Pure virgin EPDM top layer | Meets World Athletics competition standards (except IAAF category 1) | Superior colourfastness | High rubber content for elite feel | Low VOC
This premium variant of the breathable porous track uses 100% virgin EPDM granules (no recycled content) for the top layer, with virgin SBR or recycled base. The result: consistent elasticity, vibrant colours that last 8+ years without fading, and surface friction optimised for spikes. While fully breathable and porous, it offers performance approaching that of a solid rubber track – at a fraction of the cost.
Recommended for university training facilities, professional clubs’ warm‑up tracks, high‑budget school competitions, and multi‑sport arenas where athletes demand reliable, predictable rebound.
