3200 metres is an uncommon long middle-distance, or short long-distance, track and field running event that is 200m longer than the much more common 3,000 metre run, and slightly shorter than the two mile run.
At exactly eight laps on a standard 400 m track, or sixteen laps around an indoor 200 m track, this event is typically run only in American high schools, along with the 1600 m. It is the longest standardized event in track meets conducted by the NFHS in American high school competition. It is colloquially called the "two-mile", despite the distance being 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.
