The Universitat Jaume I has completely renovated the tartan of its athletics track to facilitate its use for teaching purposes, for degrees such as Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (CAFE) and other education-related degrees, as well as for the university community's sports practice. Moreover, with this action, the UJI will be able to homologate the track to host official athletics competitions.

The renovation project, included in the UJI-specific investment plan, involves the improvement of the following areas: a 400-metre rope athletics track with a 38-metre radius; a double speed line for hurdles; a perimeter warm-up track; a double track for jumping and triple jump; three pole vault areas; two high jump areas; four weight semicircles; a hammer and discus cage; two javelin ramps and a central area with natural grass. It should also be noted that a synthetic pavement has been used, not only for its functionality as an athletics surface, but also with the aim of promoting a sustainable renovation, given that recycled rubber is used in its components.

The material used in the athletics track, inaugurated in May 2010, had progressively deteriorated irreversibly until it was necessary to repair it for several reasons. On the one hand, for safety reasons, to avoid injuries due to the poor state of the sports flooring; on the other hand, for teaching needs, to guarantee teaching with materials in optimum condition; and, finally, to recover the use of the facility in official athletics competitions, which make the Universitat Jaume I a reference point in the university environment and in national athletics.

The improvement of this sports facility is added to other initiatives already promoted by the UJI both in the field of training and in the promotion of sports practice on campus. Thus, in terms of training, in addition to the implementation of the CAFE degree studies, initiatives such as the Sports Training School (ESFE), the fitting out of classrooms in the sports pavilion or the participation in the Student Athletes Erasmus+ Mobility in Europe (SAMEurope) project, an Erasmus+ programme to facilitate the mobility of university athletes, should also be highlighted.

With regard to the promotion of physical activity, a new model of access to sports facilities, activities with teaching staff and competitions were implemented in the academic year 2021-2022, which has favoured the participation of the university community.

The rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, stressed that all these initiatives "respond to the commitment of the University to have facilities, equipment and programmes that help us to enhance our training and research capabilities while we move towards a more sustainable campus committed to healthy habits". Alcón visited the sports facilities together with the vice-rector for Infrastructures and Sustainability, Vicent Cervera, as well as staff from the Sports Service and the Technical Office for Construction Works and Projects.
