The Ethiopian Athletics Championships is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Ethiopian Athletics Federation, which serves as the national championship for the sport in Ethiopia. The competition was first held in 1971.[1] Separate annual championship events are held for cross country running, road running and racewalking events.[2]
The competition programme features a total of 34 individual Ethiopian Championship athletics events, 18 for men and 16 for women. For each of the sexes, there are seven track running events, three obstacle events, three jumps, and three throws. Only men compete in the pole vault and hammer throw events. Women's triple jump was added in 1997 and the steeplechase in 2006. The women's 3000 metres was replaced by the 5000 m in 1995 in line with international changes.[2]
