Question:

An Olympic running track consists of two straight sections, each \(84.39 \mathrm{~m}\) long, and two semicircular ends, each with a radius of \(36.80 \mathrm{~m}\) as measured from the inside lane (lane 1). There are eight lanes, each \(1.22 \mathrm{~m}\) wide. If runners did not start staggered (so that each runner covers the same distance), by how much would the distance traveled by a runner in lane 8 exceed the distance traveled by a runner in lane 1 over one lap?
