You do switch lanes in the 400 meter dash. At my school at the 50 meter mark is when you start to move into lane one and two and by the 100 meter mark you really should be in the lane one or you will be running longer.

NO they do not. The first runner has to stay in the same lane of the track the whole time. If the first runner starts in one of the outer lanes their start line is ahead of the person in lane 1.
