The 10,000 metres or the 10,000-metre run is a common long-distance track running event. The event is part of the athletics programme at the Olympic Games and the World Athletics Championships , and is common at championship-level events. The race consists of 25 laps around an Olympic-sized track. It is less commonly held at track and field meetings due to its duration. The 10,000-metre track race is usually distinguished from its road running counterpart, the 10K run , by referring to the distance in metres rather than kilometres.
The 10,000 metres is the longest standard track event, approximately equivalent to 6 miles 376 yards or 32,808 feet 5 inches . Most athletes in this event also compete in road races and cross country events.
Added to the Olympic programme in 1912, athletes from Finland nicknamed the " Flying Finns " dominated the event until the late 1940s. In the 1960s, African runners began to come to the fore. [1] In 1988, the women's competition debuted in the Olympic Games.
Official records are kept for outdoor 10,000-metre track events. [2] The world record for men is held by Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda in 26:11.00, posted at Valencia , Spain on 7 October 2020. For women, the world record is held by Letesenbet Gidey of Ethiopia in 29:01.03, posted at Hengelo , Netherlands on 8 June 2021.
The 10,000 metres demands exceptional levels of aerobic endurance, and elite athletes typically train in excess of 160 km (100 miles) a week. [3]
6 miles
10,000 metres is the slightly longer metric derivative of the 6-mile (9,656.1-metre) run, an event common in countries when they were using the imperial measurement system . 6 miles was used in the Commonwealth Games until 1966 and was a championship in the United States in non-Olympic years from 1953 to 1973. It is 24 laps around a 1 ⁄ 4 -mile (402 m; 440 yd; 1,320 ft) track.
