Men's 1000 m prize money

The Diamond League has paid $65,000 in the men's 1000 m, to fourteen athletes across two runnings of it, from 2022 to 2026. Emmanuel Wanyonyi has taken more of it than anyone, $20,000.

The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. It has never been on the programme for the series final, so the final ladder has never applied to it. One of the two runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

What the men's 1000 m paid each season

season running total

The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2022 ran it once and 2022 once. Nobody has ever shared the win in it, so every figure in the win column is one athlete's cheque.

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the men's 1000 m is paid on the same card as the 100 m and the shot put at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. The Diamond+ columns are the one of two runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money does the Diamond League pay in the men's 1000 m?

$65,000 across two runnings of it, to fourteen athletes from eight countries. That is 0.1% of everything the series has paid, and the 38th biggest of the 41 disciplines on this site.

What does a win in the men's 1000 m pay?

$10,000, and double that at a meeting where it is a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on a programme, so a win here pays exactly what a win in the 100 m pays.

Who has earned the most in the men's 1000 m?

Emmanuel Wanyonyi, on $20,000 from one paid finish, which was the win. Two of the fourteen athletes the discipline has paid were paid in it more than once.

Who has won the most Diamond League men's 1000 m titles?

Two different athletes have won a Diamond League men's 1000 m across the two runnings on this site, and nobody has won it more than once.

How often does the Diamond League run the men's 1000 m?

Twice across two seasons, from 2022 to 2026, on the programmes of one meeting. Herculis EBS has run it twice, more than anywhere else. The series rotates its programme, so no discipline is on every card.

How far down the field does the men's 1000 m pay?

Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however good the mark was. sixteen payments have gone to fourteen athletes in this discipline, and six other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
