Summary
The main track at Ordos Sports Center Stadium has successfully achieved World Athletics Class 1 certification and Chinese Athletics Association Class I certification. Featuring NovoTrack prefabricated running track, the venue hosted the 2026 Asian U23 Athletics Championships and is now equipped to support international competitions, professional training, and community sports.
The main athletics track at Ordos Sports Center Stadium has successfully achieved both World Athletics Class 1 certification and Chinese Athletics Association (CAA) Class I certification, marking an important milestone in the development of high-level athletics facilities in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China.
With a NovoTrack prefabricated running track installed at the venue, the stadium has demonstrated its ability to meet the technical and performance requirements of major domestic and international athletics competitions.
A Track Built for International-Level Competition
The Ordos Sports Center Stadium recently played an important role on the international athletics stage. From July 9 to 12, 2026, the venue hosted the 1st Asian U23 Athletics Championships, the first dedicated U23 continental athletics championship established by the Asian Athletics Association.
The four-day championship brought together more than 300 young athletes from 26 Asian countries and regions, with 45 events contested across track and field disciplines.
As a major competition venue, the stadium was required to provide consistent track performance, reliable field facilities, and efficient support for a demanding competition schedule.
The successful completion of the championship provided a valuable real-world demonstration of the venue's overall quality and operational capability.
World Athletics Class 1 and CAA Class I Certification
Professional certification is an important benchmark for an athletics facility.
The World Athletics Class 1 certification recognizes the venue's ability to meet international technical standards for athletics facilities. At the same time, the Chinese Athletics Association Class I certification confirms that the stadium meets China's requirements for high-level athletics competition venues.
Obtaining both certifications gives the Ordos Sports Center Stadium strong credentials for hosting major athletics events at both the international and domestic levels.
More importantly, certification is not simply a document-based achievement. The performance of an athletics track must ultimately be demonstrated under real competition conditions.
The successful hosting of the 2026 Asian U23 Athletics Championships provided an opportunity for the venue and its track system to perform under the pressure of continuous competition.
NovoTrack Prefabricated Running Track
The main athletics track at the Ordos Sports Center Stadium was constructed and installed by Zhejiang Luoli Sports Facilities Engineering Co., Ltd., using prefabricated running track products manufactured by Tianjin NovoTrack Rubber Products Co., Ltd.
NovoTrack prefabricated track products have obtained World Athletics certification and have been approved by the Chinese Athletics Association, providing a reliable foundation for professional athletics facilities.
Manufactured under controlled factory conditions, prefabricated rubber track systems offer consistent product quality and stable performance. Compared with traditional on-site track systems, factory-produced prefabricated surfaces allow key material properties and manufacturing processes to be controlled more precisely before installation.
For professional sports facilities, this combination of standardized manufacturing and professional installation is essential for achieving a high-quality competition surface.
From Certification to Competition Performance
The true value of an athletics facility is demonstrated when it is put into use.
During the Asian U23 Athletics Championships, track and field events were conducted over four consecutive competition days. The intensive schedule placed high demands on the running track, field-event areas, facility interfaces, and overall venue operations.
The successful completion of the championship demonstrated the stadium's capability to support a major international athletics event while providing athletes with a professional competition environment.
For NovoTrack, the project also represents another example of how World Athletics-certified prefabricated running track technology can be applied to high-level sports facilities.
A Long-Term Sports Asset for Ordos
The value of the Ordos Sports Center Stadium extends beyond a single championship.
With both World Athletics Class 1 and Chinese Athletics Association Class I certifications, the venue is well positioned to serve a wide range of future activities, including professional athletics competitions, high-level athlete training, school sports, and public fitness programs.
The successful hosting of the 2026 Asian U23 Athletics Championships further strengthens the stadium's position as an important athletics venue in the region.
For Ordos, the project represents more than the construction of a modern sports facility. It provides long-term infrastructure capable of supporting the city's continued development of competitive sports and community fitness.
