As others have stated, it makes a difference if your doing the event for fun or as a competition. As a competition, I suppose the decathalon would be the hardest. For fun or not, however, the hardest event would have to be the hardly ever competed 30K.
how about the old 100/10k double? that would take some versatility to pull off.

What's so versatile about that?
Any good 1500 runner out there (and you seem to be one of them) will be able to put up a decent 800 and 3000.
yeah i guess your right.
i guess what i meant was that im not an 8 specialist and i have experience in other events(15,3k,10k,cross) as im sure most descent 15 guys like myself have...
whatever the case my opinion is still the 8 and 4 hurdles
For one single event (not multi-event events), I would have to give the hardest to the 400IH, based solely on my experience. The most wiped out I have ever been was after a long HS dual meet and having to finish up with the 400IH. Killed me every time. My top 5:
1)400IH
2)Steeplechase
3)800m
4)1000m
5)5k
This is all based on my experience, no science about it. I'm sure my roommate (a pole vaulter) would say that pole vaulting is harder than an 800, because anyone can run an 800, right? He is right, but he has no idea what it is like to train and run an actual open 800. When he runs an 800, it isn't anywhere near competitive with most runners his age. Or even people much younger than him. But I have never even attempted PV, so I have no idea what it is like.
I know decathlon is technically an "event" but I'm not counting it in this discussion.
I will say pole vault has to be #1. After that, I'm moving steeplechase to #2 and I'll give the 400 hurdles the bronze. I'd consider swapping those last two when the hurlders have to deal with a giant water pit coming down from their 5th hurdle. Anyone who doesn't have the steeple in the top-3 has never done it.
The 800 at the end of the hept/pent... most painful thing I ever have to do! I've seen girls break down and cry before they hate it so much

Not an official event,but has anyone ever done a 2-man 10 mile relay?
the 2m, u have to train your reflexes, basically first off the line wins
The Li'l Pimp had to chase one-a his Ho's down and alley for 10 miles once. Least it seemd like 10 miles afore the beeotch tripped in her steelettos and landed on her fat azz. Made her go down on the hardest event a her life, the pole swallow. Damn!

i mean 2 meters, not 2 miles, thats easy, all that time to run away from the competition
The Ultimate Runner Championship.
The 440 is pretty hard.
In my opinion the events where you could get seriously hurt would have to rank as the hardest. That being said, here is my list:
1) Pole Vault
2) Steeple/Hurdles- Jumping and falling, enough said
3) Hammer- If the wire snaps when you are turning, you are probably on your way to the hospital. Plus, most people who have never done it (and try to seriously throw it) almost always fall down.
4) High Jump- Take off to soon and you are probably off to the hospital
5) Triple Jump- If your knee buckles, you are probably on your way to the hospital.

You can't list the 600 and the 1000 with the 800 - that's stupid.
The 3000 meter steeple is the hardest event and it's not even close. I can't believe people think the 400, 800 and 1500 are even up there. Let me introduce you to the last water jump - not fun. Even if you run this relatively slow, it will suck as long as you are putting effort into it. Doing the same thing in a 400, 800 or 1500 (elites running like 55, 2:00, 4:00) might be somewhat tiring, but it won't be too bad.
This is a rather obscure event, but what about the difficutly of the hour run?
Passing the urine test. They don't watch you pee in sports like they do in jails. How do you think Lance Armstrong has gotten away with it all there years ?
