This is not easy. If an approximation is sufficient, you could (for example):

* measure it with a piece of string, or

* approximate your oval using circular arcs and add up the lengths of those arcs.

If your oval is an ellipse you could use elliptic integrals, in which case you might want to provide specific details about the oval.

You can also use this formula:"a' and "b" are the semi major and minor axises of the oval. if the way i explained it isn't clear then go to:

that's where i got my info. And the picture isn't mine, its from that website.
