Measuring wheels are also used by runners and track coaches. We have many customers that use the distance measuring wheels to measure the distance of a lap or course. It’s used by long distance runners, track and field, sprinters, marathon runners, track and cross country athletes. Any standard exterior measuring wheel will work for this application. There is not a specialized sporting good distance measuring wheel.
I had one customer that ordered a measuring wheel to make his son a track course. His son was on the high school track team and was hoping for a college scholarship. This meant he had to keep training even during the off season. The track at school was far away and he was getting a little bored running the same circle everyday. So His father purchased a measuring wheel to chart a route he could run in their neighborhood. This not only saved him gas money and driving time but he could get a new view while he exercised.
