An elastic crawler includes a crawler body formed of an elastic material into
an endless belt shape; and a tension member including a plurality of tension cords
having opposite ends which are embedded in the crawler body so as to extend along
a circumferential direction of the crawler and to be arranged in parallel to each
other in a widthwise direction of the crawler. The tension member is formed into
a loop by overlapping opposite end portions of each tension cord, extremities of
the opposite ends of each tension cord of the tension member are aligned diagonally
with respect to the widthwise direction of the crawler, and the overlapping width
of the overlapped portion of the tension member in the widthwise direction of the
crawler is smaller than an entire width of the tension member in the widthwise
direction of the crawler at any position in the circumferential direction of the crawler.
