The purpose of the study is to assess the functional content of athletics sports facilities in the Russian Federation in terms of their suitability for hosting official competitions of various levels. Research methods and organization. The empirical basis was provided by monitoring data from the Russian Association of Sports Facilities for 2024–2025, including information on outdoor stadiums, indoor arenas, and complex facilities. Parameters of running tracks, as well as the presence of jumping and throwing sectors, were analyzed. Methods of descriptive statistics and data visualization were applied. Data processing was carried out using Python tools. Research results and conclusions. It has been established that running areas dominate the athletics infrastructure, primarily circular and straight tracks of standard dimensions. A significant share is also formed by jumping sectors, which exhibit a more uniform distribution among different types of facilities. Throwing areas are limited in scope and are predominantly concentrated in outdoor stadiums. Stable standard configurations of athletics facilities corresponding to current regulatory requirements have been identified. The results of the study indicate the advisability of improving the monitoring of sports infrastructure, taking into account the functional purpose of athletics facilities.
