In my opinion it's definitely the 5k.

The 200.
The 200 isn't a distance event.
All running events are measured in distance, most commonly meters. Distance is just a measurement. You must mean long distance but there is short distance and mid distance. The 200 meter distance is the most competitive. You will also get people arguning that the 1500 and 5k are middistance if you do not specify what events you are referring to.
Seems to me like the 800 is always stacked. Always. And it's probably the least predictable distance race with the potential for an upset because everyone's pretty close in fitness. It has my vote.
