A starting block (10, 110, 210) for a runner to be used on a track having running lanes extending from a starting line (L, L', L') to a finish line including, a frame (11, 111, 211) for positioning in alignment with a running lane proximate to the starting line, fasteners (22, 222) for maintaining the frame at a selected location on the track, a first pad (55, 155, 255) selectively attachable longitudinally of the frame and having a substantially horizontal surface (56, 157, 257) for supporting one foot of a runner in a standing position, and a second pad (30, 130, 230) selectively attachable longitudinally of the frame and having an angularly upwardly extending surface (31, 131, 231) for engagement by the other foot of a runner in a standing position to assist in thrusting the runner across the starting line in a running lane toward the finish line.
