Contents |
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.
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].
