it was a foot race that was a single lap of the stadium or 400 meters
The rules of Diaulos are comparable to the rules for the modern 400 meter dash. Diaulos was a race that became a first addition to the Olympic program during the 14th century.

Dolichos, hoplitodromos, diaulos, stadion, hippios, chariot racing, boxing, pankration, wrestling, and the pentathlon which considered of wrestling, stadion, long jump, javelin throw, and discus throw.
The athlete who won three events in four consecutive ancient Olympic Games was Leonidas of Rhodes. He achieved this remarkable feat by winning the stadion, the diaulos, and the hoplitodromos races in the 164, 160, 156, and 152 BC Olympics. Leonidas is celebrated for his exceptional speed and endurance, making him one of the greatest athletes in ancient Olympic history.
The original Olympic games in ancient Greece featured a combination of athletics and combat events. The main events included foot races of different distances, such as the stadion and diaulos, as well as the pentathlon, which included running, jumping, throwing the discus, throwing the javelin, and wrestling. There were also combat events such as boxing, pankration (a martial art), and the hoplite race, where athletes ran in full armor.
The ancient Greek Olympic sports were mostly throwing events like javlin. They also had running and long jump and high jump.
In ancient Greece, the main track and field events included running races (such as the stadion, a sprint of about 200 meters), the diaulos (a two-stade race), and the dolichos (a long-distance race). Other events featured were the long jump, discus throw, javelin throw, and wrestling. The pentathlon, which combined five events—running, long jump, discus, javelin, and wrestling—was also a significant competition. These events were prominently showcased at the Olympic Games and other athletic festivals.
The first three events that athletes competed in at the ancient Olympic Games between 776 and 720 BC were the stadion (a sprint of about 192 meters), the diaulos (a double-length race of approximately 384 meters), and the dolichos (a long-distance race, typically ranging from 7 to 24 laps around the stadium). These events were integral to the early Olympic Games, emphasizing speed and endurance. The stadion was particularly significant as it marked the beginning of the Olympic tradition.
