'''60 metres''', or '''60-meter dash''', is a [[Sprint (running)|sprint]] event in [[track and field]]. It is a championship event for indoor championships, normally dominated by the best outdoor [[100 metres]] runners. At indoor events, the 60 metres is run on lanes set out in the middle of the 'field', as is the hurdles event over the same distance, thus avoiding some of the effects of the banked track encircling the venue, upon which other track events in indoor events are run. At outdoor venues it is a rare distance, at least for senior athletes. The format of the event is similar to other sprint distances. The sprinters follow three initial instructions: 'on your marks', instructing them to take up position in the [[starting blocks]]; 'set', instructing them to adopt a more efficient starting posture, which also [[Isometric exercise#Isometric presses as preparation for explosive power movements|isometrically preloads]] their muscles. This will enable them to start faster. The final instruction is the firing of the [[starter's pistol]]. Upon hearing this the sprinters stride forwards from the blocks.

The 60 metres was an Olympic event in the [[Athletics at the 1900 Summer Olympics|1900]] and [[Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics|1904]] Summer Games but was removed from the schedule thereafter. American [[Christian Coleman]] currently holds the men's world record in the 60 metres with a time of 6.34 seconds,<ref name="Albuquerque2018"/> while Russian [[Irina Privalova]] holds the women's world record at 6.92.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics semi-finals, [[Su Bingtian]] ran the fastest 60 m split of all-time and the fastest 60 m ever recorded under any conditions with a time of 6.29 seconds.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hmmrmedia.com/2021/10/tokyo-sprint-analysis/|title=Athletics - Final Results|publisher=Analyzing the Olympic 100-meter sprints|date=2 November 2021|author=Pierre-Jean Vazel}}</ref>

In the past, it was common for athletes to compete in the [[60-yard dash|60 yards]] (54.86 m) race. This is not part of the lineage of the 60 metres, but is the predecessor of the [[55 metres]] race. 60 metres is 65.6168 yards.
