From the Cabarrus Visitors Bureau

After coming to fruition through a unique community partnership, the Jay M. Robinson Mondo Track & Field Facility has been nominated by the readers of SportsTravel and is a finalist for a 2024 SportsTravel Award in the category of Best New or Renovated Sports Venue.

The SportsTravel Awards honor the best events, venues and hosts in the sports-event industry. With the nomination, the Concord facility is being recognized by the sports-event industry less than one year since the groundbreaking in October 2023.

Located on the campus of Jay M. Robinson High School, the facility features a MONDO Super X 720 Track and Field surface. Developed through a partnership between the Cabarrus County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Cabarrus County Government and Cabarrus County Schools, the facility serves as a state-of-the-art tourism asset and provides an ancillary benefit to local student athletes. To date, the venue has hosted several events which have generated a total of more than $5.8 million in economic impact in Cabarrus County including the USA South Conference Championship, 2024 AAU District Championship, and 2024 North Carolina USATF State Youth Championship.

Voting is open now through August 19, 2024.

When entering information, “n/a” can be entered in the “Company” field if not applicable. Winners of the 2024 SportsTravel Awards will be announced during the TEAMS '24 Conference & Expo, September 23-26, 2024.
