Run on a track with Apple Watch

Your Apple Watch automatically detects when you arrive at a track. When you start an Outdoor Run workout, your watch offers to start a Track workout.

Begin a Track workout

Open the Workout app on your Apple Watch.
Tap Outdoor Run.
If your Apple Watch detects that you’re at a track, you’re prompted to choose a lane.
Tap Choose Lane, use the plus or minus button to choose a lane, then tap Confirm.
Note: If you change lanes while you’re working out, swipe right on the watch face, tap Lane, then enter your new lane.
If this is the first time you’ve performed a Track workout, choose a measurement unit (Miles or Meters), then tap Confirm.
To change the measurement unit later, open the Settings app , go to Workout > Units of Measure, then choose a unit below Track Workouts.

If you leave a track during your workout, your Apple Watch displays an alert telling you so. Similarly, if you arrive at a track during an Outdoor Run workout, you’ll be prompted to choose your lane.

Turn on lap alerts

To receive an alert that shows your distance, time, and pace when completing a lap around the track, follow these steps.

Tap next to Outdoor Run, then tap next to any goal.
Tap Alerts, turn the Digital Crown up, tap Track Lap, then turn on Lap Alert.
