The equipment used by runners during sprint events on the track is primarily spikes. These specialized running shoes feature small, protruding spikes on their soles, enhancing grip and traction on the track surface. The design allows for improved acceleration and speed during short-distance races, enabling athletes to maximize their performance. Spikes are lightweight and offer minimal cushioning, catering to the explosive nature of sprinting. Runners choose their spike configurations based on the track conditions and their personal preferences to optimize speed while minimizing the risk of slipping during sprints.
