Sprint & Hurdle Equipment

The Gill International Starting Block Cart keeps a full complement of starting blocks organized, protected, and ready to roll to the track. It holds up to ten blocks horizontally and includes a dedicated storage shelf for loose pedals and accessories, so nothing gets lost between meets. Steel construction and a durable powder-coat finish stand up to daily program use, and an included handle makes transport effortless.

Key features & specs:

• Holds up to 10 starting blocks horizontally
• Storage shelf for loose pedals and accessories
• Included handle for easy transport
• Steel construction with a durable architectural-gray powder-coat finish
• Keeps blocks organized and protected between sessions

Coach's tip: Load blocks evenly and stow pedals on the shelf so the cart rolls balanced and nothing rattles loose. Keeping every block on one cart also speeds up setup and takedown on meet day. Store it indoors or under cover between meets to protect the powder-coat finish and keep the blocks clean and corrosion-free.

The Gill Steeplechase Barriers (Set of 4) equip a course with the sturdy, regulation hurdles distance runners clear throughout the steeplechase. Built with 5" x 5" square aluminum beams wrapped in synthetic track material, these barriers combine the immovable stability the event demands with corrosion-resistant, weatherproof construction. A pull-pin design on the base legs makes height adjustment fast, so one set covers multiple competition levels.

Key features & specs:

• 5" x 5" square aluminum barrier beam wrapped in synthetic track material
• Base legs with pull-pin design for quick height changes
• Adjustable to three heights: 30", 33", and 36"
• Powder-coated for a durable, weather-resistant finish
• Meets NCAA specifications and is World Athletics certified
• Sold as a set of 4

Coach's tip: Set every barrier to the same height for the race distance and confirm the pins are locked before competition. Store the barriers under cover between seasons to protect the synthetic surface and preserve the powder-coat finish.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier provides the immovable hurdle that defines the water jump on a regulation steeplechase course. A pull-pin design makes height changes quick and simple, and the beam is finished with synthetic track material to match the running surface. This version includes ground sleeves for permanent in-ground installation and is compatible with Gill's F610 water jump form, giving programs a durable, certified-quality water jump barrier.

Key features & specs:

• Barrier beam is 4" x 4" square steel tubing wrapped in synthetic track material
• Pull-pin design for fast, tool-free height changes
• Adjustable to three heights: 30", 33", and 36"
• Welded gusset adds strength and support to the beam
• Includes ground sleeves for in-ground install; compatible with the F610 water jump form
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; 5-year limited warranty

Coach's tip: Set both ends to the same height before competition and confirm the pins are fully seated. Aluminum or mesh barrier seals are sold separately; keep the sleeves clear of debris so the barrier drops in cleanly each season.

The Gill Moye Pedal Adapter converts any style Gill Fusion starting block from a conventional setup to a Moye pedal configuration in seconds. Simply remove the easy-carry handle from the front of the rail and insert the adapter. Many coaches and sprinters prefer the Moye start position because it allows closer positioning of the front foot to the starting line, and it is also well suited to 3-point and standing starts where competition rules allow.

Key features & specs:

• Converts conventional Gill Fusion blocks to a Moye pedal setup
• Tool-free installation: remove the front handle and insert the adapter
• Enables closer front-foot positioning to the starting line
• Recommended for 3-point and standing starts where allowed
• Patent 4,754,965; compatible only with Gill Fusion Blocks

Coach's tip: Confirm your blocks are Gill Fusion models before ordering, since the adapter fits only that rail. Keep the removed carry handle with the block's storage cart so you can switch configurations quickly at practice.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier Seal (Aluminum, SP configuration) is built for installations that call for a special profile at the water jump perimeter. Like the standard seal, it keeps the steeplechase water jump pit watertight, holding consistent depth for a safe, regulation competition surface for distance runners. The SP designation indicates a specialized configuration, so confirm compatibility with your specific water jump form before ordering.

Key features & specs:

• Aluminum construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• SP (special-profile) configuration for non-standard water jump installations
• Seals the pit perimeter to maintain proper water depth
• Engineered for permanent outdoor track facilities
• Withstands repeated freeze-thaw cycles and heavy meet use

Coach's tip: Contact ST1 Sports with your water jump form model to verify the SP profile matches your installation. Inspect and clear the seal each season, and drain the pit before winter to protect the aluminum through freeze-thaw cycles.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier Seal is constructed from aluminum and designed for permanent installation to keep the water jump pit watertight between competitions. Fitted at the perimeter of the steeplechase water jump, the seal stops water from seeping out so the pit holds its proper depth for a consistent, safe competition surface. It is a foundational component of any regulation steeplechase course that plans to hold water reliably from meet to meet.

Key features & specs:

• Aluminum construction for lasting corrosion resistance
• Designed for permanent installation at the water jump perimeter
• Seals the pit to maintain proper, consistent water depth
• Built to withstand years of outdoor use and freeze-thaw cycles
• Suited to high school and collegiate steeplechase facilities

Coach's tip: Inspect the seal at the start of each outdoor season for gaps or debris, and clear the perimeter before filling. Draining the pit for winter helps the aluminum and seal survive repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Gill Track Armor protects your track surface from the wear of foot traffic, equipment, and crossover zones with a low-profile, roll-out mat that's tough enough to stay put yet easy to move when needed. Sold by the foot in 6' widths up to 100' long, its 100% recycled, antimicrobial top cloth is durable, virtually stainproof, and simple to maintain — ideal for high-traffic areas of any track facility.

Key features & specs:

• Size: 6' wide x up to 100' long; priced per foot
• Top cloth: 100% recycled, antimicrobial-infused polyester; durable and virtually stainproof
• Profile: Low-profile 1/4" thickness with square sides for minimal-seam placement side by side
• Backing: Weatherproof extruded vinyl — pliable, easy to roll and store
• Weight/Safety: 82 oz/sq yd (0.6 lb/sq ft); bright red safety edging glued and sewn on; GP-493670

Coach's tip: Lay sections square with the low-profile edges butted together for a near-seamless walkway across crossover zones. Roll it up and store it dry between events to protect the track underneath and keep the recycled top cloth clean.

The Gill Indoor Starting Block is engineered specifically for indoor tracks, where you can't drive pins or nails into the surface. Instead, it uses foot pressure on its flaps to grip the track and provide a solid, non-slip start — giving sprinters a powerful, secure launch without damaging your indoor facility.

Key features & specs:

• Designed for: Indoor track use
• Grip system: No nails, pins, or holes needed to hold the block in place
• Function: Foot pressure on the flaps provides a non-slip start
• Benefit: Secure starts without damaging the indoor surface
• Model: GP-417

Coach's tip: Have athletes settle their weight onto the flaps before the set position so the block bites the surface for a slip-free drive. Keep the flap surfaces clean of dust and grit, which can reduce grip on a polished indoor track, and store the blocks flat to protect the mechanism.

The Gill Essentials Starting Block gives sprint programs a dependable, competition-style block at a value price. Built for high school and developmental athletes, it delivers the solid, adjustable foot platform sprinters need to drive out of the blocks with power — an ideal choice for programs building out their sprint equipment without stretching the budget.

Key features & specs:

• Type: Adjustable sprint starting block
• Design: Angled, adjustable foot pedals for a powerful drive phase
• Build: Durable construction for daily practice and meet use
• Best for: High school and developing sprinters
• Line/Model: Gill Essentials value line; GP-416

Coach's tip: Teach athletes to set their pedal spacing and angles consistently so their start feels the same every race, and secure the block firmly to the track surface before each use. Rinse off grit after outdoor sessions and store blocks dry to keep the pedals and rails moving freely.

The Gill Foam Training Hurdle is the ideal tool for teaching hurdle technique safely, made of forgiving foam that won't punish an athlete who clips it. It's heavy enough to stand upright through drills yet light enough to be fully portable, and its durable vinyl covering handles both indoor and outdoor use — a versatile staple for developing hurdlers and running agility work.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Forgiving foam with a durable vinyl covering
• Stability: Heavy enough to remain upright, light enough to stay fully portable
• Heights: Available in 30", 33", 36", and 39"
• Pad width: Pads are 35.5" wide
• Use/Model: Indoor and outdoor use; GP-409

Coach's tip: Use foam hurdles for beginners and rhythm drills so athletes can attack the barrier without fear of a painful clip, then progress to competition hurdles. Wipe the vinyl clean and store hurdles out of prolonged sun to keep the covering from cracking over time.

The Gill Foam Hurdle Board Guard protects the wooden board at the base of your track hurdles from the repeated impact of being knocked over — the kind of wear that splinters and cracks hurdle bases over a season. This inexpensive foam guard absorbs that impact and extends the life of far costlier hurdle equipment, making it a smart maintenance item to keep in stock.

Key features & specs:

• Function: Protects the wooden board at the base of track hurdles from impact
• Benefit: Absorbs impact to prevent splintering and cracking
• Fit: Designed to fit standard hurdle bases
• Installation: Installs easily without tools
• Model: GP-0100250

Coach's tip: Add guards to your full hurdle inventory at the start of the season so every board is protected before heavy use. Inspect the foam periodically and replace any that have compressed or torn — a few dollars in guards saves the much larger cost of replacing cracked hurdle boards.
