World Masters Games
Steeplechase

One of the less popular events, particularly amongst masters, the steeplechase been an Olympic event since 1896. The event distance varied from 2500m to 4000m until 1920 when it settled on 3000m for men. (Except for the 1932 Olympics when a lap scoring error meant everyone ran an extra lap for an additional 460m!).

Women contested the 3000m steeplechase from the 2008 Olympics.

There are two separate steeplechase events contested by masters. Women and men aged 60 and over race 2000m over steeples that are 0.762m high. The younger men race 3000m with hurdles of 0.914m.

National codes indicate a competitor's given country at time of competition but at the World Masters Games this often does not indicate a competitor's real country.

Records are not tracked and the event is not generally eligible for records due to the general lack of compliance to IAAF/WMA standards.
