The UC Riverside Track and Field Stadium is a historical landmark of sorts on the UCR campus.

Although the stadium is second only to the Physical Education building in terms of continuous use and longevity, it has undergone many improvements, including the installation of an all-weather running surface and improved runways for the jumping events.

In 1999 the facility received a major improvement with the construction of a dedicated throwing facility adjacent to the nearby UCR Recreation Fields. A new hammer throw/discus cage was constructed along with a new platform for the shot put.

The track is home to several significant events over the course of the school year, including the annual UC Riverside Track Classic, which during the 1980s and 90s was one of the largest open track meets in the Southland. Other events held at the track include the Special Olympics and the National Youth Sports Program (NYSP).
