The1500 metres or1,500-metre run is the foremostmiddle distance track event inathletics. The distance has been contested at theSummer Olympics since 1896 and theWorld Championships in Athletics since 1983. It is equivalent to 1.5 kilometers or approximately15⁄16 miles. The event is closely associated with its slightly longer cousin, themile run, from which it derives its nickname "the metric mile".[1]
The demands of the race are similar to that of the800 metre run, but with a slightly higher emphasis on aerobic endurance and a slightly lower sprint speed requirement. The 1500 metre run is predominantlyaerobic, butanaerobic conditioning is also required.[2]
Each lap run during the men's world-record race of 3:26.00, run byHicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1998, averaged just under 55 seconds per lap. Since El Guerrouj, only three other men in history have broken the 3:27 barrier;Bernard Lagat,Asbel Kiprop, andJakob Ingebrigtsen. El Guerrouj remains the only man to break the 3:27 barrier more than once, having done so five times.[3]
1,500 metres is three and three-quarter laps around a 400-metre track (seven and a half laps around an indoor 200 m track). During the 1970s and 1980s this race was dominated by British runners, along with an occasional Finn, American, or New Zealander. Through the 1990s, many African runners began to win Olympic medals in this race, especially runners fromKenya,Ethiopia, and East Africa, as well as North African runners fromMorocco andAlgeria. In the mid-2010s and 2020s, European and American runners began to emerge again in the men's event. AmericanMatthew Centrowitz Jr. won the gold medal at the2016 Summer Olympics. In the2020 Summer Olympics,Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the youngest of a dynasty of Norwegian middle-distance runners, won Olympic Gold, while Scottish and British runnerJake Wightman won the World Championship title the following year at the head of an all-European podium. Wightman's compatriotJosh Kerr won gold at the world championships the year after. In the2024 Summer Olympics, Americans and Europeans continued to dominate the podium, withCole Hocker, Kerr, andYared Nuguse earning gold, silver, and bronze respectively.Faith Kipyegon of Kenya maintained Africa's grip on the global titles in the female event in the same time period, although here again, EuropeansSifan Hassan andLaura Muir, and Americans such asJenny Simpson also contended for the podium. Unfortunately for the European and American contenders Australian Jessica Hull lived up to her expectations and took the silver medal, cementing her place as one of the greatest female 1500m runners of all time, especially after running the 5th fastest 1500m ever two weeks earlier in a race where Faith Kipyegon won and broke the world record.
In theModern Olympic Games, the men's 1,500-metre race has been contested from the beginning, and at every Olympic Games since. The first winner, in 1896, wasEdwin Flack of Australia, who also won the first gold medal in the 800-metre race. The women's 1,500-metre race was first added to theSummer Olympics in 1972, and the winner of the first gold medal wasLyudmila Bragina of the Soviet Union. During the Olympic Games of 1972 through 2008, the women's 1,500-metre race has been won by threeSoviets plus one Russian, one Italian, one Romanian, one Briton, oneKenyan, and twoAlgerians. The 2012 Olympic results are still undecided as a result of multipledoping cases. The best women's times for the race were controversially[4] set by Chinese runners, all set in the same race on just two dates four years apart at theChinese National Games. At least one of those top Chinese athletes has admitted to being part of a doping program.[5] This women's record was finally broken byGenzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia in 2015.
In Americanhigh schools, the1,600-metre run, also colloquially referred to as "metric mile", is the designated official distance by theNational Governing Body theNFHS. Because of the legacy, sinceUS customary units are better-known in America, themile run (which is 1609.344 metres in length) is more frequently run than the 1,500-metre run. For convenience, national rankings are standardized by converting all 1,500-metre run times to their mile run equivalents.[6]
Many 1500 metres events, particularly at the championship level, turn into slow, strategic races, with the pace quickening and competitors jockeying for position in the final lap to settle the race in a final sprint. Such is the difficulty of maintaining the pace throughout the duration of the event, most records are set in planned races led bypacemakers or "rabbits" who sacrifice their opportunity to win by leading the early laps at a fast pace before dropping out.
The person who wins the race is behind watching.
