100 K

The 100 km run is far beyond and much longer as a marathon run. And the 100 km ist the most popular and outstanding and special discipline of these distances and all the very different IAU disciplines. The 100 km road race is one of the discipline on which World Athletics holds record lists (WA recognises 50 km WR as well).

The flagship

The 100 km is our “flagship” since the World Athletics (WA) officially sanctions this distance and also ratifies 100 km world records.

The major IAU competitions are :

  • 100 km World Championships under the patronage of the WA
  • 100 km Area Championships

The valid world records in athletics are held by Aleksandr Sorokin (Lithuania) in the men's race with 6:05:41 and Tomoe Abe (Japan) in the women's race with 6:33:11 h. Many of these races are held on officially measured 5km or 10km laps, but there are also 100km races that are held on a single big lap.
