Straggers in the 400m race refer to the staggered starts used to ensure that all runners run the same distance on a curved track. Each lane has a different starting point to compensate for the curvature, with the outer lanes starting farther ahead than the inner lanes. The stagger is calculated based on the radius of each lane, allowing runners to remain equidistant from the finish line at the end of the race. This ensures a fair competition despite the varying distances each runner must cover.
