Ancaster Court Surfaces is quality at its best when it comes to the installation of running tracks anywhere in Canada. Ancaster Track and Tennis installed their first track in 1961 and has built more than any other company in Canada.
Our installations range in size from major facilities designed for international competitions with international certification to indoor jogging tracks.
We have designed and implemented custom installation equipment honed to ensure maximum coverage and installation integrity. Our tracks are a multiple lift rubberized coating system which minimizes musculoskeletal stress and fatigue and increases the longevity of your track.
Environmentally Preferable Running Tracks
Plexitrac’s unique structural mix of select water-based resins provide a durable, cohesive, non-toxic and environmentally friendly track surface which meet the rigorous athletic standards set by the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF).
Plexipave Sport Surfacing Systems use recycled and post-industrial components in each of the formulations. This manufacturing choice minimizes the exploitation of petroleum and wood resources.
All of the Plexitrac running track products can facilitate valuable credits under the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED rating system
Heavy metals such as lead and mercury, have been a component of many track systems. Today, schools are making the switch to running tracks that are free of heavy metal hazards. The Poly-Resin technology employed by Plexitrac systems has no need for heavy metal components. Tests indicate the safety of Plexitrac products that they are free of any mercury or lead hazard.
Ancaster Court Surfaces is able to provide to our customers the complete package regarding running track projects, no need to worry about additional trades or jockeying scheduling, we take care of it for you. We can provide to you services for earthmoving, drainage systems, irrigation layout and install. As well as sub-base and base courses and then the application of resilient surfacing. We provide services for the calculation, layout and painting of all athletic markings and installation of specialized track and field event hardware, including aluminum curbing.
We have completed running tracks in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec and Bahamas with the bulk of our work executed in Ontario. The torch of excellence has been passed down from Ancaster Track & Tennis to Ancaster Court Surfaces and we are honoured to be carrying on the tradition of going for gold.
Because of our extensive experience in track and field facility construction, we have been contracted to repair and resurface many existing facilities. Most of these repairs have been on original rubberized asphalt or latex systems. A list of repair and resurfacing completions can be viewed in our “Completed Project Section”.
We offer the following services to upgrade existing running tracks:
- Repair and resurfacing of existing rubberized asphalt tracks
- Conversion of 440 yard track to 400 metres
- Paving and surfacing of existing granular tracks
- Construction of additional field event areas
- Calculation, layout and painting lane lines and event markings

- Installation of traffic control gates
Generally, there are two options available when selecting a track material.
These options are:
- Polyurethane based systems
- Latex based systems
Details regarding each of these systems follow:
PLEXITRAC OVERVIEW
Plexitrac is an advanced track system designed to provide the optimal combination of safety and force reduction. These are constructed to minimize fatigue and stress, reducing the probability of injuries, while delivering outstanding results. Plexitrac is the smart choice for retexturing, rejuvenating and enhancing existing asphalt, SBR/EPDM latex, urethane, and rubber-asphalt running tracks while offering significant cost savings compared to the majority of polyurethane or vulcanized-rubber systems.
With proven performance in all climate conditions, Plexitrac protects against fade and degradation from the heat and sun and performs in temperatures from 40° - 120°F (47° - 49°C).
Proprietary polyresin binders strike the perfect balance between the dynamic response needed for championship competition and cushioning. Comprised of a unique structural mix of select water-based resins, Plexitrac provides a durable, cohesive, high performance and budget friendly track surface.
Plexitrac systems could be eligible for valuable credits under the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED rating system. Also, they meet or exceed the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) requirements for force reduction, modified vertical deformation and slip resistance.
Latex Systems
Instead of using expensive polyurethane materials, a latex system employs the more cost-efficient latex binder with rubber granules.
- Recent polyresin technology advancement incorporate environmentally safe water based resins which meet the rigorous athletic standards set by the International Amateur Athletic Federation
- Latex track systems are quickly becoming a popular alternative to polyurethane systems
- Surface finishes are available in a wide range of colours
