The 400-meter dash is the longest common sprint distance, and a regular track event. On a standard outdoor running track, it is exactly one lap around the track. Runners start in staggered positions and race in separate lanes for the entire course. In the United States, athletes previously competed in the 440-yard dash (402.336 m) instead of the 400 m, though this distance is now obsolete. Michael Johnson is the current men's world record holder, with a time of 43.18 seconds. Kerron Clement holds the world indoor record holder of 44.57 seconds. The current women's world record is held by Marita Koch, with a time of 47.60 seconds (set before the advent of out-of-competition testing).
