	Middle distance track event - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The 800 m is run over two laps of the track and has always been an Olympic event.
		This length of track, 1760 yards, (1609 metres), is very common in countries that don't use the metric system, and is still often referred to as the "Blue Riband" of the track.

	CNNSI.com - SI Adventure - Long-distance Land - Monday May 07, 2001 12:16 PM
		As much as distance running has been a part of Kenyan culture (a runner appears on the back of the country's 20-shilling note) and a source of national pride, marathoning was once strongly discouraged by Kenyan coaches and officials, who feared that marathoning would lead to a drop in track and cross-country performance.
		For as long as three months at a time, while preparing for marathons, this is where many of the runners live, in monastic isolation.
		They have been driven down from their training camp at the top of Kapsait Peak in three battered pickup trucks to this shaded glen, where early morning sunlight is filtered through waterside trees into golden, slanted beams.
