Do you need to use a starting block for the mile event?
No. You don't want a starting block. Starting blocks are for the use of short (running/sprinting) events such as the 70m and 100m. The reason why we use starting blocks is to push off of something to get a fast start. Thus, you don't need/want one for the mile event as you should not be running as fast as you can all the way.
What is the equipment for the 100m sprint?
YOU NEED YOUR LEGS AND RUNNING SNEAKERS YOU NEED A STARTING PEG WITH A GOOD GRIP Why do people wear trainers for the 100 metre sprint? Is this what u mean?
Blocks on the 400m dash?
It all depends on what the person running the dash prefers. I personally don't know how to use a block, so I just run it without it. Blocks are highly recommended when running a 400m. Remember: it's a sprint. You don't see 100m dashers starting without blocks, so there's nothing different about starting blocks for the 400. If you don't know how to use blocks, you should really get some extra help from a coach or someone on the team who has experience. Using blocks will almost always cut down your time in any race.

Standing start in track and field?
When running a race on a track, the runners can be either coming out of the blocks (as in the 100-meter dash through the 400-meter dash) or can stand up at the start line (as in all longer distances). That's the standing start.

How do starting blocks help runners?
For a start, I imagine they give a good surface to push off of, both for grip and angle They also make sure everyone starts exactly where they're supposed to...if you were running against Usain Bolt or Ashton Eaton, you'd probably want to start ahead of them. Starting blocks make sure you don't do that.
