Nothing matches Track and Field for the scale and variety of events on display at the Commonwealth Games. Athletes will showcase feats of superhuman speed, strength, endurance and agility in the quest for a personal best or a medal.
Sprinters, wheelchair racers, endurance runners, relay teams, hurdlers, vaulters, jumpers, and throwers will pit their skills against each other in a packed programme of events that are certain to keep viewers in the stadium and around the world gripped.
On the track, you can enjoy everything from the breathless excitement of the 100m sprint to the lung-busting intensity of the distance races, while on the field, throwers of javelins, hammers, the discus and the shot will look to go the distance in their own battles for supremacy and athletes will make a leap for a podium place in the long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault.
If that wasn’t enough, the multi-event decathlon and heptathlon will see athletes look to emerge victorious from a range of events, testing their capabilities to the very limit.
Previous Commonwealth Games Appearances
Regarded as the cornerstone of any Games, athletics has featured at every event since the Commonwealth Games began back in 1930. Para Athletics has been included since Manchester 2002.
