The "10,000 Metres" is a long-distance track event in athletics, where athletes race over a distance of 10,000 meters, equivalent to 25 laps around a standard outdoor track. This event tests endurance, speed, and strategy, as competitors must manage their energy throughout the race. Typically held in major competitions like the Olympic Games and World Championships, the 10,000 metres features both men’s and women’s events. Runners often employ various pacing strategies, and the race can be highly tactical, especially in the final laps when athletes sprint to the finish.
