I'm trying to race my friend in a mile race on the track.

A track usually have marks that show the starting position

>Since the IAAF has standardized track lane widths at 1.22 meters the above formula calculates the distance around the track in lane 2 as 407.67 meters, lane 3 as 415.33 meters, lane 4 as 423 meters, lane 5 as 430.66 meters, lane 6 as 433.38 meters, lane 7 as 446 meters and lane 8 as 453.66 meters.

I'm sure you could work it out from this, but if you take the lead how will you know if your rival stays in their lane?

for the mile you start staggered and then you're free to roam after the first line, whatever it is called

He's a pretty honest guy anyway, and I don't think he'd even need to cheat with that time

>free to roam after the first line
From the beginning. No jostling please.

Put itching powder in his underwear/track shorts.

One of you will always be in front so don't even bother racing, Xeno's paradox
