8 Reasons why re-topping your track can be a great idea
1 / COST
Re-surfacing your existing track before a full-depth replacement is necessary could cost up to 50% less – saving you money withoutcompromising performance.
2 / LONGEVITY
Re-topping your track can keep it running for an additional 7-10 years. Coupled with the correct maintenance, the Rekortan Re-surface Seriescan give your track a life-span of over 30 years. Find out more about Rekortan Re-Surface Series.
3 / ENVIRONMENT
Our Rekortan Gel tracks are made from 88% renewable materials. These green credentials become even more sustainable when the productlifetime is extended. Re-topping the existing track components has a much lower environmental cost.
4 / ATHLETE SAFETY
Re-surfacing an old track immediately improves the athlete experience. It restores cushioning, provides optimal force reduction on athlete’sjoints and removes any cracks and loose crumb which could lead to falls.
5 / TIME
As well as giving you back years in lifespan, re-topping takes your track out of commission for less than a week. If new asphalt is required, completelyreplacing your track takes at least 30 days. So on average, re-topping ensures that your venue is up and running again 5 times sooner.
6 / DIAMOND LEAGUE QUALITY
Tracks can be re-topped to World Athletics elite standards. Venues in the UK including the Manchester Arena and Alexander Stadium in Birminghamhave both been resurfaced to Diamond League and elite event standards.
7 / A SMART DECISION
Rekortan tracks can be re-topped with our unique SMART technology. The magnetic gates embedded in the track connect to a sensor wornby the athlete, providing them with advanced diagnostic information on force, agility, speed and endurance.
7 / EVERYONE IS DOING IT
From Diamond League and elite World Athletics venues to top U.S. Colleges, Rekortan re-surfaces hundreds of venues each year. Don’t get left behind.
