2020 Herculis was the 34th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting held on 14 August at the Stade Louis II in Monaco. It was the first leg of the 2020 Diamond League, which had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei set a new 5000 metres world record of 12:35.36 minutes, knocking two seconds off the previous record set by Kenenisa Bekele in 2004.

Results

Because of the disrupted season with several cancelled meets, no Diamond League points were awarded for athlete placements.
