|---|
The women's 3000 metres event at the 1986 Commonwealth Games was held at the Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh on 27 July 1986.[1]
The winning margin was 0.54 seconds which as of 2024 remains the only time the women's 3,000 metres was won by less than a second at these games. This event was discontinued after the 1994 games so this record cannot be broken.
