Introduction to Running Track Covers

When it comes to preserving the integrity of running tracks, selecting the right track cover protection is crucial.

Track surfaces are significant investments for any facility and protecting them from damage can extend their life significantly.

We are delving into the intricacies of track coverings, specifically comparing geotextile track crossover path covers with heavy-duty options, such as the Facility Armor Track Armor cover that comes with optional black, yellow, or red safety edging.

The Essence of Geotextile Track Crossover Covers

Geotextile covers are known for their permeable fabric which allows water to pass through while keeping the track surface safe from debris and foot traffic.

A standout feature of these covers is the chain edging which weights them down.

Let’s explore what makes geotextile materials suitable for track protection and how the weighted edging contributes to their overall effectiveness.

Geotextile track covers are comparatively lighter in weight which provides some protection for the running track, but due to their lightweight material chains are needed on the edges to hold them in place.

The chains themselves are heavy and cumbersome to move around, making the handling and storage of the track covering difficult.
