The Italian Athletics Championships (Italian: Campionati italiani assoluti di atletica leggera) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Federazione Italiana di Atletica Leggera (FIDAL), which serves as the Italian national championship for the sport.
It is typically held as a two-day event in the Italian summer around late June to early August.
The venue of the championships is decided on an annual basis.
Since 2012 the race has been replaced with the 10 km walk on road.
The 5000 m walk race, generally held on the track, was established at the Italian championships in 1981 and ran until 2010.
