The 2020 World Athletics Continental Tour is an annual series of elite track and field athletic competitions, recognised by World Athletics (formerly known as the IAAF). The Tour forms the second tier of international one-day meetings after the Diamond League[1] except in the 200m, 3000m steeplechase, discus, hammer and triple jump, where it forms the top-tier, these events having been removed from the Diamond League from 2020.[2] The series' inaugural season will be 2020.[3] World Athletics confirms the discipline breakdown for each of the 10 meetings in the tour. The full 10-meeting schedule for the gold level of the 2020 Continental Tour has been announced by World Athletics, with Nairobi confirmed as the first African host city, to complete the series of events.
