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).
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
400m in lane 1
An 8 lane track is 9.76m wide, so divide by 8 gives you 1.22m. Or you can go and measure it.
To mark a 400m track stagger, you start by determining the staggered start lines for each lane, as they need to account for the curvature of the track. The innermost lane is the shortest, so each subsequent lane’s start line is placed further ahead to maintain equal distance around the track. Typically, the stagger is calculated using the formula based on the radius of the curve and the lane width, ensuring that all runners cover the same distance. Accurate measurements and consistent lane widths are essential for proper staggering.
