The stadium is equipped with our World Athletics certified CONIPUR M. The surface is designed for competitive sports and competitions and has met the highest demands of athletes for many years, because it guarantees a perfect grip in all weather conditions and at the same time catapults the kicking foot forward.

In 2014, the surface was renewed by a “retoping “process. Today it is still in top condition. The 14 mm thick polyurethane running track system built with exclusively ‘Virgin Materials’ is still considered top quality even after many years. Hundreds of thousands of square meters of CONIPUR M raceways have now been installed worldwide. A total of 13 runways are certified as Class 1 and 14 as Class 2 and comply with the EN 14877, DIN V 18035-6 and ASTM F2157-02 standards.
