Question

What is the hardest track event?

Answer 1

umm i agree with all the other people, that 400m is the hardest event!....  

you got to the same training as a sprinter, then also do middle istance type training..

Answer 2

i run the mile and i think its much easier than the 400 ugh sprinting that distance kills me!

Answer 3

I think the 2 mile (8 laps around a track is going to get tedious mentally as well as physically) and hurdles(lots of fun, but def. difficult).

Answer 4

i run track and personally i feel the open

400 and 800 are the hardest events.

Answer 5

I have run all the track events including walks. The 3000m steeplechase (10min) is probably the hardest physically, while I found the walk (3000m - 17min) more mentally challenging because it is a technical event and totally different from running which is really quite easy. The walk is also physically tiring - wobbly legs at the end. All the field events I would say are more mental and you do not really get really tired. 400m is a favourite as being a middle /distance athlete it is a sprint, and you just go for it.

Answer 6

Definately the 400. because you need a combination of speed and strength to compete well. it is the longest common sprint.

Answer 7

experts often battle whether the 800m run or 400 intermediate hurdles is the hardest event of track and field. 400m run being the third hardest. the question is: would you rather run the third hardest event twice or would you like to run the third hardest race jumping ****.
