Wavelight is a pace-setting system using a series of LED lights on the inside of an athletics track developed by Wavelight Technologies in Nijmegen, Netherlands. It has been allowed for use in competition by World Athletics since 2020, citing benefits to pacing and the spectator experience.[1][2] Standalone variants are also available for personal, recreational, and amateur use.
In professional middle and long distance races on the Diamond League circuit, wavelights have been used as benchmarks for athletes to break specific records.[3] In 2020, Joshua Cheptegei used the technology to break the 5000 m and 10000 m world records.[3]
In 2025, it will be first used at a championship during the 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships.[4]
