Let’s be real for a second—coaching high school track isn’t always about sunny days and pristine facilities. Sometimes, it’s about making do with what you have. Maybe it’s raining sideways, the field is a mud pit, or you’re stuck sharing the gym with the basketball team. Suddenly, the school hallway is looking like your only option for sprint drills or approach work.
But running spikes on linoleum? That’s a recipe for slipped discs and angry janitors.
That is exactly why I want to talk about a piece of gear that is quietly saving knees and floors across the country: the Instant Roll Out Runway from Morley Athletic.

Why This Runway is a Game-Changer for Your Program
If you are a high school coach, you know that budget and versatility are everything. You need gear that works as hard as your athletes do. Here is why this runway needs to be on your PO list this season:
1. It Turns "Dead Space" into Training Space Whether it’s a long jump approach, a pole vault run, or just sprints, this rubber runway lets you train indoors without skipping a beat. It provides a shock-absorbing surface that mimics the feel of a real track. You can literally roll it out in a hallway, get a full practice in, and roll it back up before the final bell rings.
2. It Protects Your Athletes (and Your Floors) Shin splints are the enemy. Training on concrete or hard tile is brutal on your athletes' legs. This runway offers a 10mm or 12mm thick cushion that absorbs impact, keeping your sprinters and jumpers healthy. Plus, it’s durable enough to handle 1/8" spikes, meaning your athletes get the traction they need without chewing up the school’s flooring.
3. Totally Customizable One of the coolest features is that it’s sold per linear foot. You don’t have to buy a "standard" size that doesn't fit your facility. You order exactly the length you need—whether it’s 30 feet for short drills or 150 feet for a full runway. It cuts easily with a razor knife, so you can custom-fit it to your specific space.
4. Zero Maintenance There are no puzzle pieces to interlock and no complex setup. It’s heavy enough to stay put (it can be loose-laid) but portable enough to store away.
Why Buy from Morley Athletic?
Now, you might be thinking, "Can't I just get rubber matting anywhere?" Sure, but you won't get the history or the trust that comes with Morley Athletic.
We aren’t some faceless internet pop-up shop. Morley Athletic has been in business since 1931. That is not a typo. For over 94 years, we have been family-owned and operated. We are currently on our fifth generation of the Morley family running the show right here in Amsterdam, NY.
We have survived the Great Depression, World War II, and the era of short-shorts in the 80s—so we know a thing or two about staying power.
When you buy from us, you’re trusting a company that has supported high school sports for nearly a century. We pride ourselves on the fact that we have never had a single complaint about this roll-out runway. We sell it because we know it works, and we know it lasts.
