Athletics competitions at the 2024 Bolivarian Youth Games in Sucre, Bolivia were held from 11 to 14 April 2024 at Estadio Olímpico Patria.[1] [2]
Forty three medal events were scheduled to be contested: 42 events equally divided among boys and girls plus a 4 × 400 metres relay mixed event. A total of 164 athletes (86 boys and 78 girls) competed in the events. Athletes had to be born between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2008 to be eligible (ages 16 to 19), that is, they must belong to the U20 category.[3]
All 7 ODEBO National Olympic Committees (NOCs) registered athletes for the athletics competitions.[4] Each NOC was able to enter a maximum of 36 athletes (18 per gender), with up to two athletes for each boys and girls individual events and one team for each relay event. Athletes belonging to the U18 category (16 and 17 years old) could compete in any event, but no U18 athlete could compete in more than one event of a distance greater than 200 metres on the same day.[3]
