Template:Short descriptionScript error: No such module "anchor".Template:Infobox athletics event

The 300 metres is an uncommon (meaning not on an Olympic or World Championship program) sprinting event in track and field competitions. The race starts on a straight and therefore comprises two straights and one bend.

The imperial distance analogue to the event is the Script error: No such module "convert"., which is slightly shorter than the Template:Cvt distance and was contested at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships from 1906 to 1932.[1] Template:Location mark+

All-time top 25

Tables show data for two definitions of "Top 25" - the top 25 300m times and the top 25 athletes:
- denotes top performance for athletes in the top 25 300m times
- denotes lesser performances, still in the top 25 300m times, by repeat athletes
- denotes top performance (only) for other top 25 athletes who fall outside the top 25 300m times
