I can't say where the first modern Track and Field events were held, but they have their origins in the ancient Greek Olympics. The ancient Greeks believed that the home of the gods was at the top of mount Olympus, and at the base of the mountain the Greeks held regular athletic competitions in things such as running, jumping, javelin throwing, Wrestling, and other such things, to honor the gods.
