hectometers
Metric distance measures
Hectometers are units of length equal to 100 meters, or about 328 feet.
The hectometer sits between the decameter and kilometer in the metric system but sees little practical use—most measurements jump straight from meters to kilometers.
The track measured three hectometers.
Also spelled hectometres in British English.
