The '''2010 [[African Championships in Athletics]]''' was held in [[Nairobi]], [[Kenya]] from, 28 July to 1 August 2010.

==Background==
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]].

==Preparations==
[[File:Nyayo stadium from above.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The host stadium in Nairobi]]
The championships were awarded to Kenya at the April 2007 [[Confederation of African Athletics]] Congress in [[Dakar]], [[Senegal]].<ref>Daily Nation, July 26, 2010: [http://www.nation.co.ke/sports/athletics/On%20your%20marks%20set%20Kenya%20ready%20on%20eve%20of%20Games%20/-/1100/965384/-/13ka2y0/-/index.html On your marks, set...Kenya ready on eve of Games ]</ref>
