The mixed 4 × 100 metres relay is a mixed-sex 4 × 100 metres relay in which teams field two men and two women. Initially, teams were free to arrange participants in any order. As of the year 2026, there is no specific order in which sprinters are mandated to run, although the most common order is man-woman-man-woman. The event is most consistently held at the World Athletics Relays. From 2 to 3 May 2026 three world records in the event were broken, the first by team Canada, the second and third by team Jamaica, with the Jamaican team being the first nation to record a sub-40 in the event.[1][2]
