World Athletics Indoor Tour

In keeping with the indoor season generally, the season for the World Athletics Indoor Tour is considerably shorter than for the outdoors Diamond League, with the tour concluded in little over a month, and meetings often held only a few days apart. The meetings at Karlsruhe and Boston are the only ever-presents in history of the Tour, although the British indoor Grand Prix has also taken place in each edition, where the event is shared by Birmingham, England and Glasgow, Scotland. The most recent addition is the meeting at Lievin, France added for the first time in 2020. The Globen Galan meeting in Stolkholm is the only meet to have been removed from the Tour, having featured in the first edition only. Typically, national championships and the major international championship events take place after the conclusion of the Tour season.

At each meeting a minimum of 12 events are to be staged. Included in the 12 events will be a core group of five or six events split across the two-season cycle.

For example: Tour events for 2016 and 2018 were the men's 60m, 800m, 3000/5000m, pole vault, triple jump and shot put, plus the women's 400m, 1500m, 60m hurdles, high jump and long jump.

In 2017 and 2019 the tour events were the women's 60m, 800m, 3000/5000m, pole vault, triple jump and shot put, as well as the men's 400m, 1500m, 60m hurdles, high jump and long jump.

Points will be allocated to the best four athletes in each event, with the winner getting 10 points, the runner up receiving seven points, the third-placed finisher getting five points and the athlete in fourth receiving three points.

The individual overall winner of each event will receive US$20,000 in prize money and, beginning with the 2016 edition in Portland, will automatically qualify for the next edition of the IAAF World Indoor Championships as a ‘wild card’ entry, provided the member federation of that World Indoor Tour winner agrees to enter the athlete.[3]

The following table sets out the overall winners of World Indoor Tour disciplines in each year of the Tour. Adam Kszczot is the only athlete to retain a title, winning both the 2016 and 2018 edition of the men's 800 metres.
