The '''10-mile run''' is a long-distance running event over a distance of {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=off|spell=in}}. It can be held on a road course or on a running track. Also referred to as a '''10-miler''' or '''10 miles run''', it is a relatively common distance in countries that use the mile as a unit of measure. Ten miles is roughly an intermediate distance between the 10K run and the half marathon (21.1 km). The level of endurance required to run the distance means it attracts more seasoned runners than shorter events and usually requires a period of preparation for first-time attempts.<ref>Galloway, Jeff (2018-06-11).

On the track, a noted professional athlete named Reed is believed to have run 10 miles in under an hour at the Artillery Ground, London, in 1774. The event was included in the AAA Championships from 1880 to 1972, but it has never formed part of major championships. The IAAF, now called World Athletics, ratified records for the event from 1921 to 1975 when all records at imperial distances other than the one mile run were discontinued.
As a road race, the distance most frequently occurs in non-international, low-level races. Races that attract international-standard athletes are mostly based in the United States, United Kingdom and the Low Countries.<ref>[https://arrs.run/HPr_R10M.htm 10-mile races].
