The Swiss Athletics Championships (German: Leichtathletik Schweizermeisterschaften, French: Championnats Suisses Elites d’Athlétisme) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Swiss Athletics Federation, which serves as the national championships for the sport in Switzerland. The two-day event is typically held in mid-summer and the venue varies on an annual basis. It is open to adults of all ages and is thus referred to as the senior or élite championships.
The competition was initiated as a men-only event in 1906, with women's events being given national championship status in 1936.[1]
