2019 World Championships Timetable

DOHA, QATAR, September 27-October 10—World Championships XVII will be entirely a late-afternoon/evening meet. For the first time ever at a WC there will be no morning sessions (although the road events will all begin midnight-ish). Such are the necessities of scheduling in a desert climate where daytime high temps will likely threaten triple digits (40C). A unique air conditioning system, it is said, will keep things inside the stadium at an acceptable level for competitors and spectators.

In our timetable, the start time is local. The differential to North American sites is 10 hours for Pacific, 9 hours for Mountain, 8 hours for Central and 7 hours for Eastern. Men’s finals are coded in blue, the women’s in red. A quickie guide to finals-only is listed at the end. The timetable:
