Outdoor Track & Field Facility

The University of Kentucky Outdoor Track and Field Facility gives the Wildcats one of the premier home tracks in the nation.

Officially opened on October, 5, 2012, the facility provides the UK track and field program with a state-of-the-art training and competition venue.

The track  was site of the 2014 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships and the 2017 NCAA East Preliminary Championships, which welcomed more than 10,000 fans over three days.

With grandstand seating for nearly 3,000 spectators, a video scoreboard to go along with a beautiful Meet Administration Building, the UK Track and Field program boasts one of the finest homes in the country and the world.

The UK Track is located on the UK Campus adjacent to the Cliff Hagan Baseball Stadium as well as many more of the UK Athletics Facilities. The facility is outfitted with a world class nine-lane blue synthetic polyurethane track, two dual-directional runways for jumps, as well as ample room for throwing and jumping events. The facility also boasts a practice track runway to make it among the nation’s most innovative training sites.

The Outdoor Facility is built on the site of the former Shively Track, which stood on the UK campus since 1959.

Free meet day parking is available in the E-lot adjacent to the track. Once filled, patrons will be directed to Parking Structure #7. A limited amount of parking will be available on the first floor of PS#7.

Additionally, overflow parking will be available at Commonwealth Stadium in the C-6 (Green) lot. Disabled parking is available in the northeast corner of the E- lot, located on the first base side of the baseball stadium. Spaces are provided on a first come, first served basis with a valid, state-issued disabled parking hangtag.
