The new athletics track being installed at the CARD sports complex in Santa Fe is now visible, according to a report from Argentine outlet El Litoral. The track installation is part of preparations for the XIII South American Games, scheduled for 2026.
El Litoral published images showing the track's current state, indicating that work is underway at the facility. The report did not specify a completion date or provide technical details about the track's specifications.
The South American Games, set to take place in Santa Fe in 2026, have been building momentum in recent weeks. According to the Government of Santa Fe, the South American torch has arrived in the province and will tour all its departments. The flame was lit in Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, about a month before the games are due to begin, as reported by TyC Sports.
ESPN Argentina has noted that the games will feature multiple disciplines, though the full calendar was not detailed in the available reporting. The torch relay and infrastructure work, such as the CARD track, are visible markers of the countdown to the event.
The installation at CARD is one of several logistical steps tied to hosting the regional competition. With the torch now traveling across Santa Fe's departments, attention will likely shift to final venue readiness and the opening ceremony as the games approach.
