Preliminary round
September 7, 1934
The qualification mode for this competition was extremely unusual. The fourteen runners were divided into three preliminary runs with very different numbers of participants. Five athletes started in the first run, six in the second. From these two races, the first four qualified for the final. The third prelim consisted of only three runners, all of whom reached the final, although it was by far the slowest of all prelims. There was therefore no time rule.
This division of the race can be partially explained by the fact that some cancellations were made shortly before the competition took place. The eleven athletes who have qualified for the final are highlighted in light blue.
