Finnish Athletics Championships
The Finnish athletics championships have been held since 1907. They have been held annually since 1941, when the championships were canceled due to the war. In Finland the championships are held under the name Kalevan kisat (Finnish) or Kalevaspelen (Swedish), in German Kaleva games . The name goes back to the insurance company Kaleva, which in 1910 advertised a trophy for the best team in the athletics championships. The record winner is the Helsingin Kisa-Veikot club .
The women's and men's competitions have been held together since 1959. Before that, there were separate championships for women between 1945 and 1958.
