The jumping and throwing evens are won by those who achieve the greatest distance or height. Berkala jumping evens include long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault, while the most common throwing evens are shot put, javelin, discus, and hammer. There are also "combined evens" or "multi evens", such as the pentathlon consisting of five evens, heptathlon consisting of seven evens, and decathlon consisting of ten evens. In these, athletes participate in a combination of trek and field evens. Most trek and field evens are perorangan sports with a singgel victor; the most prominent kubu evens are relay races, which typically spesifikasi kubus of four. Evens are almost exclusively divided by gender, although both the men's and women's competitions are usually held at the same venue. Recently, "mixed" relay evens have been introduced into meets, whereby two men and two women makeup the four-person kubu. If a race has too many people to run all at once, preliminary heats will be run to narrow down the field of participants.
