Default Runway Length and Width Minimums

In planning for an RC Flying field, are there any standards for how long and wide a runway should be? Assuming scale .60 size aircraft, grass surface, no jets, and no obstructions on any side, what would be the minimum dimensions for the actual runway?

I know there are a lot of variables here, a big one being pilot proficiency, but I am wondering how small some of the fields are that folks are using.
