|||Each runner takes different amount of strides or steps in their approach.


Some take 9 and some take 11 or more.


The distance is not regulated by the rules.


Since they do not run in a straight line as does the horizontal jumps and pole vault it would be difficult to determine the exact distance of the approach unless you measured it with a tape.


If you are asking about the time required from their first step to jump, then that is also different with each jumper.|||Depends on their technique, style etc - there is no limit - ie, if a high jumper wanted to do ten circles of ten metres each, she or he is quite at liberty to do so in order to gain the appropriate momentum (energy) for conversion into a vertical leap.|||As long as it takes them to travel the 10 or 15 meters of thier run up. each jumper has a different run up. but id say about 2 seconds from start to the jump?|||15 meters
