Running Track Materials
Our ApplicationsRunning Track Surfacing
American Recycling Center has partnered with leading industry manufacturers to deliver premium SB (styrene-butadiene) Latex, the material at the core of high-performance rubber running tracks. This springy surface is both fast and forgiving.
Beyond performance, SB Latex tracks are often permeable, allowing water to drain easily through the surface rather than pooling on top. This means fewer weather delays and a more consistent running surface year round.

About Our Product
SB Latex gives running tracks the elasticity and resilience that define a quality running surface. American Recycling sources and supplies this latex to facilities and contractors managing running track construction projects, helping ensure the finished surface performs the way athletes expect.
Because SB Latex tracks are permeable by design, they support proper drainage without sacrificing durability. And with color customization available, facilities aren't limited to a single look. Whether you're building a new track or resurfacing an existing one, American Recycling's latex materials are designed to hold up under repeated use while keeping the surface fast underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are running tracks made of?
Rubber running tracks rely on SB (styrene-butadiene) Latex as the binding material that gives the surface its spring and durability. American Recycling supplies this latex through partnerships with leading industry manufacturers, ensuring facilities get a consistent, high quality product for track construction.
What makes latex a good choice for running track construction?
Latex creates a surface that's both fast and forgiving, which is why it's a favorite among runners. It also tends to be permeable, so water drains through the track rather than sitting on the surface, helping keep the track usable in a wider range of weather conditions.
Does running track material cost vary?
Yes. Factors like color customization, facility size, and project scope can all affect the overall cost of running track materials. For a quote tailored to your facility's needs, reach out to American Recycling directly.
Can running tracks be customized with color?
Yes. American Recycling offers color choices ranging from standard black to a variety of shades, making it easy to coordinate a track's color with a school or athletic program's existing palette.
Why does drainage matter for a running track?
A permeable track surface allows water to drain through it instead of pooling on top. This helps reduce weather-related delays and keeps the running surface more consistent for athletes.
