There is a "metric mile" which is 1500 m. This is something in the context of track and field athletics. | ||

Same with a Metric ton (a "tonne") which is one thousand kilograms (pretty close to an imperial ton). | ||

Not to be confused with the 1600 meter or "1 mile" race which is commonly run in US track and field events (i.e. 4 times around a 400 meter track). At least that's within 1% of an actual mile. | ||
