To determine the number of laps in five miles, we need to know the length of the track. If the track is a standard quarter-mile track, then five miles would be equivalent to 20 laps (5 miles * 4 laps per mile). If the track is a standard 400-meter track, then five miles would be equivalent to approximately 20.12 laps (5 miles * 1609.34 meters per mile / 400 meters per lap).
The 4 x 800 meters relay is an athletics track event in which teams comprise four runners who each complete 800 meters or 2 laps on a standard 400 meter track.
