The Turkish Athletics Championships is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Turkish Athletic Federation, which serves as the national championship for the sport in Turkey.[1]
The competition was first held in 1922, though events for women were added to the schedule much later in 1975, making it one of the last large European nations to include women in the athletics national championships. Separate annual championship events are held for cross country running, road running and racewalking events.[1] There is also a Turkish Indoor Athletics Championships.[2]
