No competitions will be held at the track oval of the Cebu City Sports Complex after the 2024 Palarong Pambansa ends next week.
The length of the oval is believed to be at 398 meters, two meters short of the prescribed 400 meters, the international standard set by World Athletics. Athletics officials have sought a reevaluation of the length of the oval, which is now being used for the running events of the 2024 Palarong Pambansa.
Tournament director Jeanette Obiena earlier told coaches and delegation officials that the oval’s length is at 398 meters, two meters below the prescribed length of World Athletics, the world governing body for track and field sports.
