Runners who enjoy racing at shorter distances may want to consider racing on the track. Track meets offer a different, more intense atmosphere than road races, and offer more short-distance options.

"Short distance” is relative. Track meets typically feature running events form 100 meters to 10,000 meters (That's a 10K in road running terms.). But the 1,500 meter and 5,000 meter events may be perfect for you if you enjoy racing at shorter distances.
