The Central African Athletics Championships are an international athletics competition between countries in Central Africa. First held in 1976, it has been held sporadically since then, with the most recent edition being the ninth championships in 2015.[1]

The competition features mostly outdoor track and field events, though the 1991 championships had a men's marathon and the 1999 championships hosted a men's 20 kilometres race walk. There was also a cross country running championships held in 2000. These competitions were all hosted separately from the Central African Games as well as the East and Central African Championships.[2]

Participation

Central African Cross Country Championships

In 2000, Bujumbura in Burundi staged the only known edition of a Central African Cross Country Championships. Long and short course races were held for both men and women, with Lambert Ndayikéza (36:29) and Béatrice Iradukunda (28:39) the long course winners and Onèsphore Nkunzimana (12:40) and Épiphanie Nyirabaramé (15:24) being the short course winners. Rwanda's Nyirabarame was the only winner not from the host nation.[2] Burundi and Rwanda are the only nations in the region with an international pedigree in long-distance running.
