Running tracks...why anti-clockwise?

I have seen this asked somewhere before but can't remember the answer that was given....but why do athletes always run anti clockwise at track meetings?
I know that during 24hr track races they alternate to give each leg the same amount of work as the outside leg always has to work harder. I just can't seem to find an answer to why anti-clockwise tho...anybody??
