150 metres is a sprint event in track and field. It is a very rarely contested non-championship event, and not recognised by the World Athletics. Given the proportion of standard running tracks, the event typically incorporates a bend when held in a track and field stadium, although some specially-built tracks allow it to take place entirely on a straight.

The event was given a high-profile outing in 1997 as an intermediate contest between two 1996 Olympic champions: Donovan Bailey (100 metres) and Michael Johnson (200 metres).Longman, Jere (1997-06-02).

Johnson pulled up mid-race, allowing Bailey to win the $1 million prize.{{Cite web |title=Turkish News - Latest News from Turkey |url=https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=Hürriyet Daily News |language=en}} This race coincided with a period of similar 150 m meetings between Bailey and the 1992 Olympic 100 m champion Linford Christie; the pair raced over three years for high cash prizes in Sheffield, England, in 1995, 1996 and 1997, with Christie winning the first two outings and Bailey winning the last.{{Cite web |title=ITN: Contemporary and Archival Video News Footage - Getty Images |url=https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage/itn |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=www.gettyimages.co.uk}}{{Cite web |title=Turkish News - Latest News from Turkey |url=https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=Hürriyet Daily News |language=en}}File:Manchester City Games 2009 - Men's final 2 (crop2).jpgThe Manchester City Games in England – a competition featuring a long, raised track on one of the city's major streets – has provided many of the event's highlights since 2009, including the men's world best of 14.35 seconds, set by Usain Bolt in 2009.{{Cite web |date=2009-05-17 |title=Usain Bolt clocks fastest ever 150m |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/athletics/5339860/Usain-Bolt-clocks-fastest-ever-150m.html |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=The Telegraph |language=en}} Allyson Felix ran the fastest ever female 150 m race in 2013 (16.36 seconds),[http://www.finishlynx.com/2013/06/allyson-felix-sprints-to-150m-world-record-at-the-great-city-games/ Allyson Felix Sprints to 150m World Record at the Great City Games] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202050608/http://www.finishlynx.com/2013/06/allyson-felix-sprints-to-150m-world-record-at-the-great-city-games/ |date=2017-02-02 }}. Finish Lynx (2013-06-03). Retrieved on 2017-01-29. although faster times have been recorded at intermediate stages of the 200 m event. The Great North City Games (held variously in Newcastle and Gateshead) feature a similar set-up to the Manchester event and have hosted several of the best men's and women's times.[http://www.usatf.org/News/Team-USA-takes-Great-North-City-Games-trophy.aspx?feed=news Team USA takes Great North City Games trophy]. USATF (2017-09-17). Retrieved on 2017-01-29. The British events typically attract American, British and Caribbean competitors, and athletes from these places account for nearly all the top 25 best times for men and women. A one-off 150 m race on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro was held in 2013 and Bolt finished in a time close to his own world best.

The 150 m had some significance as a regular indoor event in the 1960s and 1970s as a result of indoor tracks matching that distance. Wales held a national championship over the distance up to 1972, and Finland briefly had a women's national championship in the mid-1960s.[http://www.gbrathletics.com/bc/wali.htm Welsh Indoor Championships]. GBRAthletics. Retrieved on 2017-01-29.[http://www.gbrathletics.com/nc/fini.htm Finnish Indoor Championships]. GBRAthletics. Retrieved on 2017-01-29. A relay version of the distance (4 × 150 metres) was contested at the 1967 European Athletics Indoor Championships and was won by the Soviet Union's women's team.[http://www.gbrathletics.com/ic/eiw.htm European Indoor Championships (Women)]. GBRAthletics. Retrieved on 2017-01-29. The distance attracted the attention of 1980 Olympic 200 m champion Pietro Mennea, whose hand-timed run of 14.8 seconds in Cassino, Italy, in 1983 stood as a world-best time for over a quarter of a century.[https://www.iaaf.org/news/news/bolt-runs-1435-sec-for-150m-covers-50m-150m-i Bolt runs 14.35 sec for 150m; covers 50m-150m in 8.70 sec!]. IAAF (2009-05-17). Retrieved on 2017-01-29. Italy also provided a women's 150 m best that same decade, with Jamaican Merlene Ottey setting a time of 16.46 seconds in Trapani in 1989 – a world-best mark which was unbeaten for over two decades.[http://www.gbrathletics.com/wrec.htm WORLD RECORDS AND BEST PERFORMANCES].
