World record holder Ron Clarke was considered the favorite for the gold medal. A three-way battle between Clarke and the 10,000 and 5,000 meter Olympic champions from 1960, Pyotr Bolotnikow from the Soviet Union and Murray Halberg from New Zealand was expected .
At the very beginning, Bolotnikov took the lead. But he had no chance in this race and was even lapped in the end. Clarke started the race quickly. At 5000 meters there was only a six-person leading group together, which in addition to Clarke consisted of the Ethiopian Mamo Wolde, the Tunisian Mohamed Gammoudi, the Japanese Kōkichi Tsuburaya, the American Billy Mills and the Kenyan Naftali Temu. Halberg had also lost contact. Next, Temu had to let go, after 6000 meters then Tsuburaya too. Wolde fell back with two laps to go. Clarke was in the lead up to the last lap, with Mills and Gammoudi behind him, everything indicated that the world record holder would win a favorite. On the last lap, the situation was rather confusing due to numerous lapped runners. Clarke lapped another athlete and ran a little outward. Gammoudi took the opportunity and pulled between Mills and Clarke past his rivals. The Tunisian had quickly run out of a lead in the last corner, but Clarke caught up and was next to him at the beginning of the home straight. While Gammoudi countered Clarke's attack, Billy Mills pulled on his final sprint, overtook his opponents and had a three-meter lead over Mohamed Gammoudi at the finish. Two complete outsiders had won gold and silver, the Australian at least had bronze. It would remain the only Olympic medal of the great speed runner Ron Clarke.
Billy Mills achieved the first US Olympic victory on this route.
Mohamed Gammoudi won the first Olympic medal for Tunisia.
