Tips for Recording a Track Run

The Garmin® track database contains over 10,000 tracks from all over the world.

  • Wait until the watch acquires satellite signals before starting a track run.
  • If your watch does not recognize the track, run four laps to calibrate your track distance.

    You should run slightly past your starting point to complete the lap.

  • Run each lap in the same lane.
    NOTE: The default Auto Lap® distance is 1600 m, or four laps around the track.
  • If you are running in a lane other than lane 1, set the lane number in the activity settings.
