4 × 1500 m relay, men

What to remember

Four runners, 1500 m each, which is 3.75 laps of a standard 400 m track. On May 25, 2014, at the IAAF World Relays in Nassau, Bahamas, Kenya completed the job in 14 min 22.22 s, an average of 25.052 km/h. The team was Collins Cheboi, Silas Kiplagat, James Kiplagat Magut and Asbel Kiprop.

The 4 × 1500 m is not held at the Olympics or the World Championships, but World Athletics does ratify world records in it. In the United States and some other countries, the 4 × mile relay is sometimes run instead.

Collins Cheboi, a 1500 m specialist, won silver at the 2011 All-Africa Games. On the women's side, an American team ran 16:27.02 on July 31, 2020 in Portland, Oregon: Colleen Quigley, Elise Cranny, Karissa Schweizer and Shelby Houlihan.
