Australian Grant Hackett swam the finals of the 400 meter freestyle in Lane 2. He finished in 6th place, 1.06 seconds behind bronze medalist Larsen Jensen of the United States.
The Best runner will always win Lane does not matter much
Strictly speaking there are no hurdles in a 400m race, but in a 400mH race there are ten hurdles per lane.

well lets see. on a 400m track every lane out is an extra 40m. 4 laps on a 400m track is a mile. so 6m times 40m is 240m. so one lap around a 400m track in lane 7 would be 640m. a mile is 1609m. 640m goes into 1609 meters 2.5640625 times. 2 and a half laps is a mile in lane 7.
or if you want to know the distance of each lane i think lane 8 is something like 450m. if you measure from the start of the 400m back to the finish line and add 400m that should give the dist. you would travel in that lane
400m, 6 lanes, 8 lane straight
Try it and find out.
It depends on how long the track is, but on the normal 400M track, it takes a little more than four laps to make a mile (1609.344M), in lane 1. If you use the line marked 400M in each lane, then you will also run 400M in that lane, but once you go past the common start/finish line, you are going more than 400M per lap. The distance covered will be different depending upon whether the outside lane is the 4th lane (some practice and MS tracks), the 6th lane (some small HS tracks), the 8th lane (most HS, college and international tracks) or the 9th lane (some elite college and Olympic level international tracks).
400m in lane 1
all the lanes on a 400m track are 400m. that's y no one starts at the same place because it's made so that everyone runs the same distance
An 8 lane track is 9.76m wide, so divide by 8 gives you 1.22m. Or you can go and measure it.
Standard outdoor tracks are 400 meters in length in the first lane which roughly equals 1/4 mile (actually .2485 mile). Distance in the other lanes depends on the length of the turns and the width of the lanes which varies between facilities. Some tracks have been fit into narrow spaces and thus have very short, tight turns and long straights. Similarly lane width plays a roll. The 400m distance is measured along the inside line of lane one so the distance around the second lane should be measured around the inside line of lane 2 (i.e. the outside line of lane 1). If each lane is 2.5 feet wide the distance around lane 2 will be different than if each lane is 3 feet wide. Generally the additional distance added by moving out one lane is between 4 and 6 meters. So lane 2 would be around 406m, lane 3 around 412m, etc. 1m = .0006 mile so you can do the math to figure out the distance of each lane in miles. One way to figure out how many meters each lane adds on the track you're on is to measure the distance between 400m start lines. In lane 1 there is the large Start/Finish line usually stretching across all lanes. In lane 2, a few meters ahead you should find another line (usually a thinner and a different color) with a marking indicating "400." The distance between the general start in lane 1 and the start in lane 2 is equal to the distance lane 2 adds to a full lap. You'll find the same line in each lane at equal distance. These are the lines used to start a 400m race. Each runner must stay in his/her assigned lane for the whole lap so the staggered start lines ensure each runs exactly 400m when the cross the common finish.
