Rules for sprint races

Sprint races typically involve a short, high-intensity competition over a fixed distance, often ranging from 60 to 500 meters, depending on the sport. Athletes must adhere to specific starting procedures, such as a stationary start and false start penalties. Races are usually run in lanes, with competitors required to remain in their designated lanes until the finish line. Additionally, timing is crucial, with results often measured in hundredths of a second to determine the winner.
