About This Event
The 10,000m draws from the same talent pool as the marathon and half-marathon. Japan, with its world-class ekiden relay culture, has built incredible long-distance depth that translates directly to this event.
Format
Conducted as a single final without heats. 25 laps of the 400m track. Pacing strategy is crucial — most Asian 10,000m races feature a controlled early pace followed by surges from the leading group.
Nations to Watch
Japan and Bahrain are the favourites. Japan’s domestic 10,000m scene is world-class, with multiple athletes running under 27:30. Bahrain’s East African heritage runners also contend. China and Kazakhstan are competitive.
