World Military Track and Field Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Military Track & Field Championships are the world championships of athletics organized by the International Military Sports Council (CISM). Initially an annual competition, the championships have been held on an irregular schedule since 1971. The 2011 Championships was the 44th edition.[1]

In addition to this outdoor competition, a World Military Indoor Athletics Cup was staged in 2009 in Athens.[2]
