The championships were awarded to Kenya at the April 2007 Confederation of African Athletics Congress in Dakar, Senegal.[1]

The event was originally scheduled to be held from April 28 to May 2, 2010, but due to delayed preparations the event was moved forward.[2] The Moi International Sports Centre was initially set to become the host venue,[3] but it was later changed to the smaller Nyayo Stadium.[4]
