East African Half Marathon Championships
The East African Half Marathon Championships was an international half marathon competition among athletes from East Africa. The competition was the first dedicated road running championship. The event was contiguous with other regional competitions in the sport of athletics, including the East African Athletics Championships and the East African Cross Country Championships. An East African Marathon Championships was also briefly held during this period, having only one outing in 2002.
The inaugural edition was staged in Djibouti and featured an individual men's race only. Three further editions were subsequently held, in 2003, 2005 and finally 2006. The last edition included a women's race for the first time. The competition was not held thereafter.
