Look up your nearest athletic club go along to a meet you will see the high, long, triple, javelin, pole vault, each competitor measures his or her distance to run before release (of the body or in the case of the javelin an implement) some athletes even have a short run up to get a measurement in (to secure the points) before going on there proper run up, just by the way in the high, you can only compete on 8-10 jumps, so, you mustn't waste them clearing jumps that are easy

There is no specified distance it depends on your run up,
High jumpers generally use an approach that begins as a straight run, yet finishes as a curve
Most jumpers employ 8-10 strides, with the last 5 strides on the curve.Most jumpers use two check marks. One is located from 10-16 feet out on a line from the near standard

There is no required distance that you must run before jumping. If you could, you would be allowed to just stand next to the bar and jump!
Rules say that you must leave the ground on one foot.
