NovoTrack Achieves 20 Consecutive Years of World Athletics Certified Prefabricated Running Track

For international athletics facilities, World Athletics certified running track systems represent the highest benchmark for quality, safety, and performance. Since 2009, NovoTrack has continuously maintained certification for the same 13mm prefabricated running track under certification number S-05-0054, completing five consecutive certification cycles without interruption.

Spanning the transition from IAAF to World Athletics, this achievement reflects two decades of product consistency, manufacturing excellence, and commitment to international standards.

Unlike one-time product approvals, World Athletics certification requires comprehensive laboratory testing and periodic renewal to verify that a running track continues to meet strict performance requirements.

NovoTrack's certification history demonstrates long-term stability:

Throughout all five certification cycles, the product retained the same certification number:

Maintaining the same certification number over twenty years demonstrates that the product's core performance has remained consistently compliant with international standards.

A World Athletics certified running track must successfully pass a comprehensive series of laboratory tests covering:

· Shock absorption

· Vertical deformation

· Force reduction

· Slip resistance

· Tensile strength

· Weather resistance

· Durability

· Athlete safety

Only surfaces that satisfy every technical requirement are approved for international competition venues.

For project owners, architects, contractors, and sports authorities, choosing a World Athletics certified prefabricated running track provides confidence that the surface has been independently verified by authorized laboratories.

NovoTrack's certified system is a 13mm prefabricated non-porous rubber running track, designed for:

International athletics stadiums

National sports centers

Universities

Schools

Professional training facilities

Multi-purpose sports complexes

The product has been tested by internationally recognized laboratories across multiple certification periods, ensuring compliance with evolving World Athletics requirements.

Continuous certification is only possible when product quality remains stable over many years.

1. Stable Material Formulation

NovoTrack continuously optimizes its rubber compound while maintaining consistent performance across every production batch.

Key performance indicators—including elasticity, force reduction, vertical deformation, and durability—remain stable without requiring major formulation changes before renewal testing.

2. Standardized Manufacturing

Every production stage follows strict quality control procedures, from raw material selection to vulcanization and final inspection.

Each batch is internally tested against World Athletics performance parameters before shipment.

3. Keeping Pace with International Standards

When the governing body changed from IAAF to World Athletics, certification requirements were updated accordingly.

NovoTrack successfully adapted to every revision, completing each renewal through independent laboratory testing.

4. Focus on Prefabricated Running Track Systems

Rather than diversifying into unrelated products, NovoTrack has concentrated on developing prefabricated athletic track technology for over two decades.

This long-term specialization has supported continuous innovation and reliable product quality for projects worldwide.

Today, NovoTrack prefabricated running track systems are used in:

International athletics venues

Professional competition stadiums

Educational campuses

Municipal sports facilities

Training centers

Continuous World Athletics certification provides project owners with confidence that every certified system meets internationally recognized performance standards.

The latest World Athletics certification, issued in 2025, extends NovoTrack's certified status through 2029, marking twenty consecutive years of uninterrupted certification.

As international standards continue to evolve, NovoTrack remains committed to delivering high-performance World Athletics certified running track systems that combine safety, durability, sustainability, and consistent athletic performance for customers around the world.
