NBC Sports Gold already offers a cycling package for $19.99 and a Rugby package for $29.99.
The track package will provide more exposure to athletes who might participate in future Olympics, which will be televised by NBC Sports. NBC Sports will also be launching an Olympic Channel during the second half of the year.
"From sprints to marathons, high jumps to hammer throws, track and field fans are among the most passionate in sports, and we're excited to offer a fantastic collection of the most compelling events in the sport on NBC Sports Gold," said Portia Archer, VP, Direct-to-Consumer Services, NBC Sports Group.
