Athletics competitions at the 1973 Central American Games were held at the Estadio Nacional Mateo Flores in Guatemala City, Guatemala, in November 1973.

A total of 38 events were contested, 24 by men and 14 by women.

Medal summary

Gold medal winners and their results were published.[1] A complete list of medal winners can be found on the MásGoles webpage (click on "JUEGOS CENTROAMERICANOS" in the low right corner).[2] Gold medalists were also published in other sources.[3][4] A couple of results can be found in the archives of Costa Rican newspaper La Nación.[5][6]

All results are marked as "affected by altitude" (A), because Ciudad de Guatemale is located at 1,592 m above sea level.
