Product Description
A synthetic running track is built to handle athletes, not heavy equipment. Maintenance vehicles, lifts, utility carts, and construction equipment can put concentrated weight on the track surface, increasing the risk of damage during everyday maintenance, renovations, and special events. Track crossing mats provide a simple way to protect your investment by creating a temporary crossing point wherever equipment needs access.
Sportsfield Specialties track crossing mats are designed to distribute weight across the track surface, helping reduce stress on synthetic track systems during maintenance and construction activities. Whether you’re moving equipment to the infield, setting up for a track meet, replacing a light pole, or completing repairs around the facility, these track protection mats help reduce unnecessary wear while providing a stable surface for vehicles and equipment to cross.
Built for repeated use, our running track crossing mats are easy to place, remove, and store when the job is finished. They’re a practical solution for schools, colleges, universities, municipalities, contractors, and sports facility managers who want to protect their running track during projects large and small.
Track crossing mats work alongside other Sportsfield Specialties track protection systems to help keep your facility in top condition. Pair them with our aluminum track curbing and rotating lane gates to create a complete running track system that protects the track surface while improving access to the infield. Sportsfield Specialties also offers a full line of track and field equipment, including hurdles, steeplechase equipment, pole vault systems, high jump equipment, and throwing event equipment, making it easy to source everything you need from one trusted manufacturer.
Whether you’re planning a renovation, performing routine maintenance, or preparing for a major event, our team can help you choose the right track crossing mats for your facility. Request a quote or contact Sportsfield Specialties to learn more about protecting your running track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should track crossing mats be placed for best results?
They are typically placed at high-traffic crossing points, such as entrances to infields, team bench areas, and access gates. Positioning mats in these areas helps control traffic and protect key sections of the track.
What makes Sportsfield track crossing mats different from other track protection options?
Sportsfield track crossing mats are perimeter-weighted with chain ballast and geotextile construction, which helps keep them securely in place without additional anchoring.
How do track crossing mats compare to roll-out track protection systems?
Crossing mats are ideal for targeted traffic areas, while roll-out track protectors are used for covering larger sections of the track. Many facilities use both together for complete protection.
Can track crossing mats handle maintenance vehicles or equipment carts?
Yes, they are designed to support light equipment and maintenance traffic, making them useful for daily operations as well as events.
