The Belgian Athletics Championships (Dutch: Belgische kampioenschappen atletiek; French: Championnats de Belgique d'athlétisme) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Royal Belgian Athletics League, which serves as the national championship for the sport in Belgium.
Typically organised in July in Brussels, the event was first held in 1889 and introduced the first events for women in 1921. The competition was not held in the years from 1915 to 1918 due to World War I and also did not take place in 1940 and 1944 due to World War II.[1]
Separate annual championship events are held for the 10,000 metres, relay races, combined track and field events, cross country running and the road running and racewalking events. There is also a Belgian Indoor Athletics Championships and an outdoor Belgian club championships.
