Answer
Long-distance running, as the name implies, involves races that cover extended distances, typically ranging from 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) to marathon distances (42.195 kilometers or 26.2 miles). These events require endurance, stamina, and mental toughness, as participants must pace themselves effectively and maintain a steady pace over long periods. Notable long-distance running events include marathons, half marathons, 10-kilometer races, and cross-country races.
