List of African records in athletics
African records in athletics are the best marks set in track and field and road running events by an athlete who competes for a member nation of the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA). The organisation is responsible for ratification and analyses each record before approving it. Records may be set in any continent and at any competition, providing the correct measures (such as wind-gauges) to allow for a verifiable and legal mark.
