Its one of the best synthetic running track. Its the best for athletes comfort and convenience. Its regularly maintained and very secure with 24*7 guards. The use of slippers/casual footwear is prohibited. Only sports shoes are used on the track. The track has a beautiful lawn in between where people relax.

Maintained well. Very clean and big stadium. Located inside IIT madras campus, near to IITM library. Lot of staff members and students can be seen here doing walking or some sort of sport. It has the best running track which has a green lawn in between. Only people with shoes are allowed to use the track.

A well managed stadium having all essential facilities for sportspersons. A 400 meters synthetic track for athletics and walkers is the best thing. The area inside the track has grass to play or relax. It has shaded steps also for ceremonial purposes. Separate washrooms for ladies and gents are also there. Additionally, it has flood lights also for using it after sunset. An ideal place to feel the open space in IIT Madras campus.

Awesome track to walk or jog in the insti. The synthetic track over here aids in reducing stress on your knees while youre running. Quite busy between 6pm to 7pm. But that isnt an issue at all as it has 8 tracks.

Review №18

Really good track to jog and walk. The centre of the stadium acts as a picnic spot for most families. Atmosphere is really good. The timings sometimes are really strict. So it would be better to call you the IIT administration before going to the stadium.

Running here gives you the real joy of running.Built at a cost of around ₹ 6 crores, its the olympic quality synthetic track. Some rules should be adhered to such as running only in shoes or bare foot and not in chappals. Rods for pull ups are also set up. Enough space is available for doing other exercises.Very spacious stadium. And even if you dont want to sweat, you can just sit there and relax. Slow breeze gives a god feel.

Picturesque location(especially in rains), nice track, unfortunately for me, it was inaugurated when I was in final year, so couldnt make much use of it. Having such facility in vicinity is a previlege and most people tend to realise this only after leaving IIT.
