What events are ran first in the track events?

The correct answer depends upon the meet in question, however it is usually a distance race. In the 2012 Olympics, they ran the women's marathon on the first day of track and the men's marathon on the last day. If we are discussing an invitational meet of some sort, then it could literally be any distance of the meet director's choosing. If we are discussing a championship meet, then it depends upon what distances are included in the schedule, but usually the longest distance race would be the first race.
