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. It was first held in 1889 and introduced 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. While most of the winners have been Belgian nationals, a small number of invited foreign athletes have won at the event.[1]
