At the '''1999 Pan Arab Games''', the '''athletics''' events were held at the [[Prince Hasan Youth City Stadium]] in the Al Hasan Sport City Complex in [[Irbid]], Jordan from 11 to 14 August.

The athletics events were held before the official opening ceremony of the games on 18 August due to their proximity to the [[1999 World Championships in Athletics]], also held that month.<ref name=DB>Bell, Daniel (2003).

A total of 45 events were contested, of which 23 by male and 22 by female athletes (the men's programme featured a [[steeplechase (athletics)|steeplechase]] event). The women's road events were shorter than the men's, having a [[half marathon]] compared to the men's [[marathon]] and a [[10 km walk]] compared to a [[20 km walk]].

The competition was affected by the highest profile [[doping in athletics|doping]] incident of the games. [[Siham Hanafi]] originally won three [[sprint (running)|sprint]]ing gold medals for Morocco, taking the women's [[100 metres]], [[200 metres]] and [[4×100 metres relay]] titles. She lost all three after testing positive for [[nandrolone]] (a banned steroid) and the Moroccan relay team was entirely disqualified. [[Discus throw]] bronze medallist [[Karima Shaheen]], also of Morocco, was another athlete whose result was annulled due to a drug test failure, again for nandrolone.<ref name=DB/>

The [[Fully automatic time|electronic timing system]] at the event failed during the competition and as a result some of the races were [[hand timing|hand-timed]].<ref>[http://www2.iaaf.org/Results/lists/1999/outdoor/g/Lists.txt IAAF 1999 Top Lists] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110174233/http://www2.iaaf.org/Results/lists/1999/outdoor/g/Lists.txt |date=November 10, 2013 }}.
