# Danish Athletics Championships

The Danish Athletics Championships (Danish: Danske mesterskaber i atletik, abbreviated DM) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Danish Athletics Federation (DAF), which serves as the Danish national championships for the sport. Founded in 1894, the three-day event is typically held in early or mid-summer and the venue has varied between Esbjerg, Holte, Odense, København, Roskilde, Aabenraa, Blovstrød, Maribo, Aalborg, Vallensbæk, and Aabenraa since 2002. It is open to adults of all ages and is thus referred to as the senior championships, as opposed to the U20 or U18 championships.
In 2021, sprinter Kojo Musah set a then-Danish record of 10.14 seconds in the 100 metres at the championships.
The next championship will be held on 29–30 June 2024.
