The university offers recreational programs year-round. Athletic facilities on campus include the Frank Kennedy Centre, [[Max Bell Centre (Winnipeg)|Max Bell Centre]], the [[Investors Group Athletic Centre|Investor's Group Athletic Centre]], and [[Princess Auto Stadium]], which opened in 2013 to replace [[University Stadium (Winnipeg)|University Stadium]]. The first three facilities contain indoor tracks, a swimming pool, work-out facilities, and an international ice hockey rink, as well as basketball, volleyball, squash, and racquetball courts. In addition, the Frank Kennedy Centre also hosts dance, combat and gymnastics rooms, and indoor tennis courts.

The university held its first [[Track and field|track]] meet in the early fall of 1914 with the [[University of North Dakota]] on the Winnipeg [[Red River Exhibition|Exhibition]] Grounds. With University of Manitoba being victorious, the meet would be thought of as a success and the universities decide to make it an annual event. In 1979, UM student [[Jan Madden]] equals the world record in the 300-yard track-and-field event.<ref name=":2" />
