The 300 metres is an uncommon (meaning not on an Olympic or World Championship program) sprinting event in track and field competitions. The race starts on a straight and therefore comprises two straights and one bend.
The imperial distance analogue to the event is the 300 yards (270 m), which is slightly shorter than the 300 m distance and was contested at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships from 1906 to 1932.[1]
