New Running Track for Erick Barrondo Stadium in Guatemala

A monumental tranformation has taken place in Guatemala at the Erick Barrondo Stadium, marking a significant milestone in the realm of sports facilities: A new running track from CONICA has been installed.

Named in honor of the renowned Guatemalan race walk athlete Erick Bernabé Barrondo, recipient of the Silver Medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games and the Gold Medal at the Panamerican 2011 Games in Mexico, this iconic stadium track spans an impressive 4,500 square meters and now stands as a testament to the seamless integration of quality and design, offering a space dedicated to athletic pursuits and community engagement.

This visionary project is the result of a strategic collaboration between CONICA and Dportivos, a distinguished name synonymous with excellence in sports infrastructure. With a commitment to innovation and a reputation spanning across El Salvador and Guatemala, they ensured that the track would transcend conventional expectations.

The use of the distinctive blue color goes beyond mere aesthetic appeal. It symbolizes dynamism and energy, reflecting the spirit inherent in the world of sports. As athletes navigate this meticulously crafted surface, they aren’t just running on a track; they’re engaging with a platform designed to inspire and elevate their performance. Also reminds and represent the fact that Guatemala is a land located between two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean Sea), as well as the blue sky over the country.

Dportivos, with its extensive experience and dedication to pushing boundaries, played a pivotal role in bringing this ambitious project to life. The collaboration with CONICA has not only redefined the sports landscape in Ciudad de Guatemala but has also set a benchmark for future endeavors in sports infrastructure.

This achievement resonates beyond the stadium boundaries, inspiring the community and sparking the enthusiasm of a new generation of athletes. This track symbolizes progress, a commitment to excellence, and the transformative power of sports.

As daylight fades over Ciudad de Guatemala, the Erick Barrondo Stadium stands as a beacon – not just for its innovative new track but for the spirit of sportsmanship and the relentless pursuit of perfection. These 8 lanes represent more than a stadium addition; it’s a legacy etched into the grounds, inviting athletes to exceed their limits, and encouraging the community to embrace the ethos of sports excellence.
