2024 World Athletics Continental Tour

The 2024 World Athletics Continental Tour, also known as the 2024 Continental Tour, is the 5th season of the annual series of outdoor track and field meetings organised by World Athletics. The Tour forms the second tier of international one-day meetings after the 2024 Diamond League.

OrganisersWorld Athletics
Edition5th
Dates15 February – 8 September (Gold level)
2023
2025

The Continental Tour was divided into four levels – Gold, Silver, Bronze and Challenger – each of which have different levels of competition and different prize offerings.

The 2024 Tour will be used by some athletes as a chance to secure World Athletics Rankings points used to qualify for athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1]

The Botswana Golden Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be a Gold-level meeting, but it was cancelled on 29 March due to administrative disagreements about whether meet founder Glody Dube or the Botswanan government would organize the event. Mmegi reported that a source told them, "World Athletics reportedly wants to rope in an American company in conjunction with the government to take over the organisation of the event, which is scheduled for April 14". Dube sued World Athletics, and by late March, the lawsuit was still ongoing and the Botswana Athletics Association had to cancel.[2][3]
