the 200m
"The 200m" is enough, Stuart. You may add "sprint" if you want, but the 200m is the most widely used form. You may visit this link to the IAAF (International Federation of Athletics Federations).
It’s also possible that the Powell-Wariner duel could be upstaged by X-Man” Xavier Carter and Wallace Spearmon, who have run 19.63 and 19.65 in the 200m and rank second and third on the all-timer performers list, and defending Olympic champion Shawn Crawford.

: I agree, if the context is about athletics. If it is a company newsletter taking about a rece held at their annual picnic, I would add "dash" or "sprint"
