What's the closest ever finish to a race that is at least 800 meters long or above? It can be any race, any distance above 800 meters, really anything. Just the closest ever finish to a race at 800 meters and up?

.01 Wheating and some other guy in NCAA 800 meters a couple of years ago.
Chicago Marathon 2007.
In my district 1600, two kids finished in 4:16.9 but they were 0.004 seconds apart.
Any race with a difference of .01 seconds between the winner and 2nd place.

Sam Burley and Jonathan Johnson at 2003 NCAA Outdoors 800m.
1:46.50 and 1:46.51.
Franklin Aswell and James Jacobes
1500
3:49.23 vs. 3:49.68
How about the original close finish and the record that stood for so long- the 4x800 in 1966 by Boys High and Jackson High. The teams were given the same time and is still disputed as to who won that race.
Depth wise, check out the 1984 Oly trials 800. Four guys right on top of each other. Jones, Marshall, Robinson, Gray.
Runners can be credited with the same time to the hundredth of a second with the tie being broken by the thousdanths. Although not 800m or longer, here is an example from the NCAA women's 400 hurdles from this year.
1 Ti'erra Brown SR Miami 55.65 10 [55.642]
2 Turquoise Thompson SO UCLA 55.65 8 [55.646]
Both get 55.65 as their official time but Brown wins by 4 thousandths of a second. I am sure some longer races have had similar results.
2 Andrew Bayer Unattached 3:39.67 3:39.667
3 Lopez Lomong Nike Otc 3:39.67 3:39.668
Stanford Invitational this year.
