What is the difference in distance between the inside lane and outside lane on track for track and field?

Answer:
If you measure the absolute lengths, the further our the lane is, the longer it is, because the corners have a bigger radius. This is why events such as the 200/400m have staggered starts, as it compensates for the difference in length of the lanes. The other difference is that some people "feel" better in a certain lane, but this seems to happen for no apparent reason.
