Well, darling, a 400 meter oval track means you have to run 2.5 laps to hit that 1 kilometer mark. So, to cover 5 kilometers, you'd need to strut your stuff for a grand total of 12.5 laps. So, lace up those shoes and get ready to make those laps your runway!
There are several different "oval" shapes. A running track, which comprises two semicircles separated by two straight stretches is an oval. So is the cross section of an egg - a shape in which the cross-sectional width does not change uniformly. Another example is the ellipse. Because all these shapes are called ovals, there is no single name.
"Oval" is an imprecise term. It could be an ellipse, where the shape has a curved boundary all the way round or it could be like a running track: two semicircles with straight line segments joining them. The formula for the area will be different.
A hippodrome is an oval track surrounded by grandstands. This is a very familiar setup for athletic stadiums in modern times.

Many track and field competitions are held on an oval track surrounded by grandstands. It is not unusual for the center of the track to do double-duty as a football, baseball, soccer, or other type of sports field.
An oval track surrounded by grandstands is typically referred to as a raceway or race circuit. The grandstands provide seating for spectators to view the racing events taking place on the track.

The oval refers to the shape of the field of competition. Racing car drivers compete on an oval-shaped track, as do track-and-field runners.
