Haryana State Open Senior Athletics Championship 2026: Registration, Eligibility & Events | 19- 20 September

The 13th Haryana State Open Senior Athletics Championship is scheduled to be held at Navdeep Stadium, Narwana, on 19–20 September 2026.

This championship will serve as the selection event for the Haryana Open Senior Athletics Team, which will represent the state at the 65th National Open Athletics Championship in New Delhi from 8 to 11 October 2026. The final selection of athletes will be made by the selection committee based on their performance during this State Championship.

This is an excellent opportunity for young athletes to showcase their talent and make their mark, first at the state level and then at the national level.

Registration Guidelines

  1. The championship will be held separately for Men and Women.
  2. Each athlete may enter a maximum of two individual events.
  3. Entries must be submitted online only, through the Indian Athletics website, from 3 September to 15 September 2026. Entries submitted through any other mode will not be accepted; manual entries will not be entertained.
  4. An entry fee of ₹600 per event per athlete must be paid online at the time of registration via www.indianathletics.in. The last date for submitting entries is 15 September 2026. The entry fee is non-refundable, so athletes should register only if they are certain of their participation.
  5. Offline entries will also be accepted, but at a significantly higher fee of approximately ₹2,000. Athletes are therefore advised to register only through the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) website using their AFI UID.
