Noting that coriolis acceleration is proportional to angular velocity at the surface of the earth crossed with the radial velocity into the earth....both of which are many orders of magnitude down. Those are VERY small forces and thus negligible.
A 400m track is roughly 3 arc-seconds of lattitude in length if oriented so the long axis is north-south. So, your angular velocity is 3 arc-seconds per 20 seconds or 1 arc-second per 7 second....or 0.7 uRadians/s.
That's 7 orders of magnitude down.
