The 2010 African Championships in Athletics was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 28 July to 1 August 2010.

Background

The African Championships in Athletics were held in Kenya for the first time. Previously two major athletics events have been held in Kenya, namely 1987 All-Africa Games and 2007 IAAF World Cross Country Championships.

Preparations

The host stadium in Nairobi

The championships were awarded to Kenya at the April 2007 Confederation of African Athletics Congress in Dakar, Senegal. [1]

The event was originally scheduled to be held from April 28 to May 2, 2010, but due to delayed preparations the event was moved forward.[2] The Moi International Sports Centre was initially set to become the host venue,[3] but it was later changed to the smaller Nyayo Stadium.[4]
