The 100 metres, or 100-meter dash, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. The shortest common outdoor running distance, the 100-meter (109.36 yd) dash is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the sport of athletics.

The modern sprinting events have their roots in races of imperial measurements which were later altered to metric: the 100 m evolved from the 100-yard dash, [7] the 200 m distance came from the furlong (or 1 ⁄ 8 mile), [8] and the 400 m was the successor to the 440-yard dash or quarter-mile race.
