At exactly eight laps on a standard 400 m track, this event is typically run only in American [[High school (North America)|high school]]s, along with the 1600 m. It is colloquially called the "two-mile", as the distance is only 18.688 metres shorter. In college, the typical runner of this event would convert to the 5,000-metre run (or potentially the 3,000-metre run during the indoor season). In most eastern American high schools, colleges, and middle schools, this event is usually considered a long-distance event, depending on the region. It is the longest track distance run in most high school competitions.<ref name="KHSAA">{{Cite web|title=Kentucky High School Athletic Association|url=https://khsaa.org/sports-activities-events/spring/track/|access-date=4 January 2023|website=khsaa.org}}</ref> |
