An oval wind tunnel track with lanes for skating, running, cycling, etc.
There would be a barrier in the centre to separate the airflows and waist-high barriers to separate the different activities/surfaces in the concentric lanes.
But why? You ask. Oh ye of little imagination. For the practically
inclined, it's an opportunity to practice tilting into a headwind. Later, the more frivolous don wing suits and head downwind, skating, running and jumping at frankly reckless velocities.

//How and where do you place the fan(s)?// There could be stadium style seating, and a bar area with more informal tables, but this viewing area probably needs to be separated from the tracks by large plate glass windows. |

The fans could simply be like those used in road tunnels. It would be more interesting to use air entrainment through large arches, like Dyson fans. |

Hmm, how large would your shoes need to be for an air hockey rink? |
