Refurbished Carmarthen Athletics Track officially opened three years ago today

Three years ago today (12th November 2020), the refurbished Carmarthen Athletics Centre was officially opened by Carmarthenshire County Council.

Work had been completed at Carmarthen Leisure Centre since March 2020 and summer 2020 following a £1.5 million investment by the County Council.

The improvements works included a new eight-lane athletics track funded under the council’s capital works programme.

Features of the upgraded competition spec track included two 100m sprint tracks, a 400m track, startrack system and a complete lighting system replacement.
