The '''2 mile''' (10,560 [[Foot (unit)|feet]] or 3,218.688 [[metres]]) is a historic [[running]] distance. Like the [[mile run]], it is still contested at some invitational meets due its historical chronology in the [[United States]] and [[United Kingdom]]. It has been largely superseded by the [[3000 m]] (approximately 1.864 miles) and [[5000 m]], and by the [[3200 metres|3200 m]] in [[National Federation of State High School Associations|NFHS]] [[United States|American]] [[high school]] competitions (18.688m short of 2 miles). The [[International Association of Athletics Federations|IAAF]] no longer keeps official [[World records in athletics|world records]] for this distance; they are called world best instead.
The world best for men is 7:54.10 set by [[Jakob Ingebrigtsen]] on 9 June 2023 in Paris. The women's record is 8:58.58, set by [[Ethiopia]]n [[Meseret Defar]] in Brussels, Belgium on 14 September 2007. Ingebrigtsen, along with previous record holder [[Daniel Komen]], are the only people to have run the distance in under 8 minutes, and thus run two miles at a [[four-minute mile]] pace.

Note: this list only covers boys because the history of 2 mile running largely occurred before [[Title IX]], before high school girls were allowed to compete, which occurred about the same time as conversion to metric distances.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cs.uml.edu/~phoffman/nats/gods.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=23 April 2013 |archive-date=14 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314220709/http://www.cs.uml.edu/~phoffman/nats/gods.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
