The 440-yard dash, or quarter-mile race, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. In many countries, athletes compete in the 440 yard dash (402.336 m) – which corresponds to a quarter mile. Many athletic tracks are 440 yards per lap. In the 19th century it was thought of as a middle distance race. The 440 yard race distance used imperial measurements, which have been replaced by metric-distance races. The 400 metres is the successor to the 440 yard dash. An athlete who competes in the 400 m may still be referred to as 'quarter-miler'.

  • 440碼短跑或¼哩的比賽是田徑比賽的短跑比賽。在許多國家,運動員在440碼短跑(402.336米)比賽 - 相當於¼哩。許多運動賽道每圈440碼,在19世紀它被認為是一場中距離比賽。440碼比賽距離乃採用英制測量,而非公制。現在以公制測量之400米賽事已取代了440碼賽事,廣泛進行。 (zh)

  • The 440-yard dash, or quarter-mile race, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. In many countries, athletes compete in the 440 yard dash (402.336 m) – which corresponds to a quarter mile. Many athletic tracks are 440 yards per lap. In the 19th century it was thought of as a middle distance race. World-record holder Lon Meyers (1858–1899) was the first person to run the 440 in under 50 seconds. In 1947, Herb McKenley of Jamaica set a world record in the event with a time of 46.3 seconds, which he lowered the following year to a new world record of 46.0 seconds. Adolph Plummer took the record under 45 seconds with a 44.9 on May 25, 1963. In 1971, John Smith lowered the world record to 44.5 seconds, which remains the world record. The 440 yard race distance used imperial measurements, which have been replaced by metric-distance races. The 400 metres is the successor to the 440 yard dash. An athlete who competes in the 400 m may still be referred to as 'quarter-miler'. (en)
