Middle-Distance Events

Middle-distance events in track and field typically include races like the 800 meters and 1500 meters. These races require a combination of speed, endurance, and strategy, as they are longer than sprints but shorter than long-distance events. Athletes must pace themselves well to maintain speed over the distance, often combining quick bursts with sustained effort. Success depends on efficient running technique, stamina, and tactical awareness, making these events a test of both athletic ability and race strategy.
