1500 meter
Middle-distance footrace
The 1500 meter is a middle-distance track event, four laps around a standard outdoor track.
Often called "the metric mile," though it's actually about 109 meters shorter than a mile.
The 1500 requires both speed and tactical awareness, with competitors typically holding back before a fast final lap: She won the 1500 meter in the Olympic trials.
