The first exchange is the middle of the exchange zone, or the "200 meter" stagger if you "turn the track around" and finish at the 200m start line. Not all tracks have this line. The 3rd and 4th exchange is timed at the finish line. Yes, the 4th guy runs 410m, and timed on the last 400 (flying 400) For the 4×400, the splits are measured when the BATON crosses the line.

We run 3 turn stagger for the 1600 relay. I get the first split when runner/baton crosses beginning of exchange zone in our lane. Split 2 begins there and goes to the straight line 10 meters behind finish that marks begining of exchange zone for legs 3 and 4. Split 3 starts and ends at that point. Split 4 starts there and ends at finish. Leg 3 is 400M. Leg 4 is 410M. My question is about legs 1 and 2. How is the remaining 790M divided between them? Oklahoma High School.

Leg 3 is 400M. Leg 4 is 410M.
My question is about legs 1 and 2. How is the remaining 790M divided between them?
