RENOVATION OF RUNNING TRACK SURFACES – MEETS THE WORLD ATHLETICS REQUIREMENTS
CONICA offers cost-efficient and technically simple restoration of all common athletic track surfaces using the highest-quality PU coatings. CONICA technology is tested according to World Athletics specifications, which means that the technical and functional specifications are complied with at the highest level, and there is also the possibility of achieving complete certification according to World Athletics Class 1 or Class 2.
Restoration can be carried out on water-permeable or waterproof track systems, either in-situ or prefabricated. The high-quality PUR surface layer is highly durable, anti-slip and anti-skid in all weathers. This type of restoration is also a very ecological solution because the original track system is retained as a base layer, and only the wear layer is renewed.
This produces minimal disposal costs and simultaneously reduces the use of consumables in surface restoration. This has a very positive effect on lifecycle costs while still providing the athlete with the performance they desire from a new track.
CONICA has more than 25 years of experience in sustainable restoration of athletic tracks of all kinds, with some top references having been certified as World Athletics Class 1 or Class 2.

Ronald Levy (Jamaica) 110m Hurdles / Bronze Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 / Silver Continental Cup 2018 Ostrava

Cindy Sember Ofili (UK) 100m Hurdles / Silver European Athletics Indoor Championship Torun 2021
- «The day before the Diamond League final, I prepared and did my warm-up at the stadium. Together with the high jumpers, I noticed that the surface was very springy and carried us forward. The track was very fast and I had to adjust my runup. So overall, a fast track that carries forward! Great for a high level competition like the Diamond League Final!»
Līna Mūze (Latvia) Javelin Throw / Gold European U23 Championships Tampere 2013
- «The CONICA-track was great, I feel that it was one of the best track I have ever run on.»
Janieve Russell (Jamaica) 400m / Gold World Indoor Championships Belgrade 2022 / Bronze Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 / Silver World Championships Doha 2019 / Gold Continental Cup 2018 Ostrava
- «One of the best experience I made! The CONICA-Weltklasse Zürich track was very fast. I honestly don’t know, how you can get any better than this.»
Vernon Norwood (USA) 400m / Bronze Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
- «To make a jump that’s over 8 metres – like the one I was able to make at the Conica facility in Schaffhausen – everything has to come together. A high-quality track therefore plays a key role in the run-up to the jump.»
«The material and the floor covering material are an important part of a track. To provide the ideal grip and prevent injuries, the covering should neither be too hard nor too soft.»
«In the old days, a track that was as hard as possible was considered the measure of all things. Research has now taught us that excessively hard tracks don’t automatically lead to top times.»Swiss Athletics
Simon Ehammer / Ajla del Ponte / Silvan Wicki - Conica floor coverings are characterised by their first-class quality, which allows athletes to enjoy low-impact training that minimises the risk of injury – and maximises performance when it’s time to compete. For track and field athletes, the track is of critical importance. After all, they spend a great deal of their time training and competing on this surface. Simply put, it’s an indispensable piece of infrastructure.
Swiss Athletics
Trainer / Athletes - Conica, like Swiss track and field athletics, strives for the highest performance. Combining premium quality and Swiss precision makes top performance possible. For Swiss Athletics, it’s a piece of good fortune that there is a Swiss company that produces world-class tracks. The partnership brings plenty of added value with it.
Swiss Athletics
Swiss Athletics Federation - A fast, high-quality and at the same time durable synthetic high-performance surface material is just as essential for the world’s best athletes who come to Zurich every year as for everyday track and field activities. As Conica’s synthetic track in the Letzigrund stadium combines all these qualities, it is also referred to as the “Piste magique”.
Weltklasse Zürich
Christoph Joho, Co-Meeting Director Weltklasse Zürich - „We chose Conica because of their quality and good references. We are aiming for highest possible quality for our guests – whether they are professionals or amateur athletes. With our new professional track from CONICA, we will keep the top position among best sports resorts worldwide for the future.“ Michael Møller Sports Director, Club La Santa
