About Furlong (fur)

Equal to 220 yards (201.168 meters), the furlong originated as the length of a furrow in a plowed field -- literally a 'furrow long.' Today it survives primarily in horse racing, where track distances are measured in furlongs. A standard horse racing furlong post marks each eighth of a mile around the track.
