The JAAA National Senior Championships is Jamaica’s premier track and field competition, organized by the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA). Held annually at the National Stadium in Kingston, this championship serves as the primary selection trials for Jamaica’s national athletics team for major international competitions including the World Athletics Championships and the Commonwealth Games.

The event showcases Jamaica’s extraordinary depth of sprinting talent — the nation that has produced legends like Usain Bolt, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Elaine Thompson-Herah, and Yohan Blake. For track and field enthusiasts and members of the Jamaican diaspora, this championship is a rare opportunity to witness world-class sprinting in an intimate, electric atmosphere at the birthplace of sprint greatness.

Kingston — Jamaica’s capital and cultural heartbeat — offers visitors a rich urban experience beyond the athletics. From the Bob Marley Museum and Devon House to the vibrant Waterfront and New Kingston dining scene, the city is a destination in its own right.

Dates: June 25–28, 2026
