dbo:abstract
  • The distance medley relay (DMR) is an athletic event in which four athletes compete as part of a relay. With its inclusion in the IAAF World Relays program, the IAAF announced on May 1, 2015 that the event would be an official world record event. Unlike most track relays, each member of the team runs a different distance. A distance medley relay is made up of a 1200-meter leg (three laps on a standard 400 meter track), a 400-meter leg (one lap), an 800-meter leg (two laps), and a 1600-meter leg (four laps) in that order. The total distance run is 4000 meters, or nearly 2.5 miles. Aside from the 400 meter segment, which is a sprint, all legs are a middle distance run. Prior to going metric, the distance medley relay consisted of a 440-yard leg, an 880-yard leg, a 1320-yard leg and a one-mile leg. The total distance for the old distance medley relay was 4400 yards and the total distance for the current metric distance medley relay is 4374.45 yards - slightly over 25 yards shorter than the old race.

  • Le Distance medley relay est une épreuve d'athlétisme de relais consistant à enchainer les distances de 1 200 m, 400 m, 800 m et 1 600 m, soit 3 + 1 + 2 + 4 tours sur une piste d'athlétisme classique. L'épreuve est disputée particulièrement lors de compétitions universitaires américaines, ou lors des meetings de printemps consacrés au relais comme les Drake Relays ou les Texas Relays. Elle est intégrée en 2015 au programme des relais mondiaux de l'IAAF, à la place du relais 4 × 1 500 mètres.
