The distance of a steeplechase race varies depending on the specific competition and the level of the athletes competing. However, traditionally, the standard distance for a steeplechase race in track and field is 3000 meters for women and 3000 or 4000 meters for men. In international competitions such as the Olympics or World Championships, the men's steeplechase is typically run over 3000 meters, while the women's steeplechase is run over 3000 meters. In some college and high school competitions, the distance may be shorter, such as 2000 meters for women and 3000 meters for men.
