Sportfix Sand traps

Protect your track. Extend its lifespan. Keep performance consistent.

Long jump facilities are high-impact zones – not just for athletes, but for the surface itself. Every landing brings sand onto the pit edge, and every step out of the pit carries sand straight onto the running track. Over time, this leads to surface wear, structural damage and costly repairs.

Sportfix Sand Traps are engineered to stop that.

Designed for professional sports facilities and fully compliant with World Athletics guidelines, these traps capture sand before it reaches the track, helping you maintain a clean, safe and competition-ready environment  – every single day.

Your benefits

  • Prevents sand from spreading onto running tracks, protecting the elastic surfacing layer from long-term damage.
  • Recyfix material ensures durability, weather resistance and long service life
  • Rubber safety mat securely fixed on top, offering a safe transition zone for athletes.
  • Option for single or double-width installation, giving you flexibility during design or retrofitting.
  • Neat, professional finish thanks to a metal profile edge that connects cleanly to track surfacing.
  • Delivered complete with mesh grating and an integrated rubber mat.
  • Fully compliant with World Athletics requirements for competition-ready sports facilities.
