5/8 or 0.625 miles - which is approx 1.06 kilometres.
5/8
As a relay, each person would run 5/8 of a mile.
The 4 x 400 relay consists of four runners, each completing one lap around the track. In total, this means the relay covers four laps, with each runner running a distance of 400 meters. The event is often the final race in track meets, showcasing speed and teamwork.
A quarter of the distance.
The Inca civilization utilized a system of runners known as "chasquis" to relay messages across vast distances. These runners could cover about 150 miles in a single day, depending on the terrain and conditions. However, for an average estimate, a chasqui might typically travel around 40-60 miles in a day, delivering messages efficiently throughout the Inca Empire.

There are four runners per team who compete in a relay. However, teams always have alternates (back ups) in case of an injury or drop out.
A Relay
it is a baton
A relay race.
4 runners & a baton.
A baton is the object that is passed between relay runners in a relay race.
To form a 4-person relay team from 8 track runners, we first choose 4 runners from the 8, which can be done in ( \binom{8}{4} = 70 ) ways. Then, we can arrange these 4 runners in ( 4! = 24 ) different ways. Therefore, the total number of arrangements is ( 70 \times 24 = 1680 ). Thus, there are 1,680 ways to arrange 8 track runners on a 4-person relay team.
If you're thinking of the short wooden or metal 'stick' they pass between the runners - that's called a baton.
