The 4 × 100 meters relay or sprint relay is an athletics track event run in lanes over one lap of the track with four
runners completing 100 meters each. The first runners begin in the same
stagger as for the individual 400 m race. A relay baton is carried by each runner and must be
passed within a 20 m changeover box (usually marked by yellow lines) which
extends 10 m on either side of each 100 m mark of the race. Another
line is marked 10 m further back, marking the earliest point at which the
outgoing runner may begin (giving up to 10 m of acceleration before
entering the passing zone)
