Virtually all athletics tracks are 400 metres long. This is why they have a staggered start in 400m races. An 800 metres race is therefore 2 laps of a 400m track.
a staggered stat is when some one cheahing fits
its a race that's 400m long .
In lane one it is the finish line on a 400m track.
Standing start and the three point start
You normally start a 400m race (outdoor track) at the same place as 800, 1600 and possibly 300; which isn't a common event in outdoor track and field anyway
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.
The 220 yard race has been replaced with the 200 meter race although it is about 222 yards long; the 440 yard race has been replaced with the 400 meter race; and the 1,500 meter race has replaced the mile.
400 meter hurdle race
Due to the curved/circular path of the track, the diameter is longer with each lane that moves outwards. Runners start at intervals for the 400 meter dash so that all runners end up running 400 meters in the end and not more or less.
A quarter mile is 402.336 metres. Therefore a quarter mile race is slightly longer than a 400 metre race.
