Competition Starting Block

Description

The Port-a-Pit Competition Starting Block is an all-steel option for programs that need reliable competition starting blocks without the cost of aluminum models. Built entirely from steel components, this block uses a spring-loaded plunger system for quick pedal adjustment and secure locking, so athletes can set their stance and trust it will hold through the drive phase.

Specifications:

• All-steel construction
• Spring-loaded plunger pedal adjustment with secure locking
• Includes spikes for all surface types
• Includes spike wrench
• Manufactured by Port-a-Pit

The spring-loaded plunger adjustment is simple to operate, which makes these competition starting blocks practical for meets where athletes from multiple teams need to adjust the pedals between heats. The plunger locks firmly into position and holds under the force of a full sprint start. Steel construction adds durability for programs that store blocks outdoors or transport them between facilities.

The Competition sits in the middle of the starting block lineup. For programs that need a step up in materials and adjustability, the Elite II Starting Block and Elite Starting Block offer cast aluminum pedals with 4-angle adjustment on aluminum rails. The Ultimate Starting Block is the IAAF-certified option for championship-level meets. For the most budget-friendly choice, the Scholastic Starting Block provides steel construction with a double-rail design at a lower price point.
