![]() Mondo chosen for new banked track at JDL Fast TrackBy: Mondo SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Jan. 20, 2025 - PRLog -- JDL Fast Track, an indoor track and field facility in North Carolina, has once again chosen Mondo for its track. The venue will install a new Mondo permanent banked track with Mondo's newest track surface, Mondotrack EI, which was developed for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
"Mondotrack EI was designed to enhance athletic performance while preventing injuries," said Michael Tovar, Mondo track director. "The new bottom layer, with elliptic geometric shapes, allows the track to react smoothly and dynamically to every step, jump, or throw, improving shock absorption and energy return." Installation of the custom-designed 200-meter track with 11-degree banking will begin in April. The project is slated to be completed for the 2025–2026 indoor track season. Geo Surfaces, based in Mooresville, North Carolina, will install the track surface. Located in Winston-Salem, JDL Fast Track has been a key destination for indoor track and field in the Southeast since its opening in 2012. As the only dedicated indoor track and field facility in North Carolina, it serves both high school and college athletes and will have the first permanently banked track in the state. "JDL Fast Track is excited to take the next step in our evolution with the introduction of this banked track," said Craig Longhurst, facility director. "North Carolina has an amazing group of track and field athletes at high school and collegiate levels, and we are excited for them to take advantage of this new track. Athletes will no longer have to leave the state to run on a state-of-the- JDL Fast Track's current track surface is Mondo's Mondotrack FTX, which was the official track surface of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
