24 competitors from 12 nations.
World Record: 30:06.2 Paavo Nurmi, Finland Kuopio, Finland August 31, 1924

Walter Beavers (GBR) raced into the lead, and passed 400m in 62 sec- onds, 15m clear of the field. A lap of 74 followed, and a group of five (Ritola, Nurmi, Beavers, Wide and Joie Ray (USA)) broke away, with Ray leading at 1000m in 2:52 before Ritola took over. By halfway (15:11.0) Ritola, Nurmi and Wide were 100m clear of Lindgren, Beavers and Muggridge. Wide began to lose ground and was 60m behind by 8000m. Ritola led at every kilometre marker from 2000m to 9000m, and the laps ranged from 71 to 76 seconds, until the final lap. Ritola built up the tempo, but Nurmi burst past Ritola with 80m to go, to win by 3m after a last lap of 64.8, becoming the first man to regain a 10,000m title.
