1986 Maghreb Athletics Championships

Organised by the Union des Fédérations d'Athlétisme du Maghreb Uni (Union of Athletics Federations of the United Maghreb), it took place in Tunis, Tunisia from 7–9 August.

The Maghreb men's marathon was held for the third and final time at the tournament.

[2] Algeria topped the table, winning more than half the events on offer.

The competition was affected by strong winds and many of the marks in the sprints and horizontal jumps were wind-assisted.

The men's 10,000 metres race was not timed to international standards.
