The 4 × 800 meter relay or its imperial 4 × 880 yard relay equivalent was held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships from its founding in 1965 to 1993. The imperial distance was held until 1983, while the metric distance was run from 1984 to 1993. Hand timing was used until 1975 and in 1980, while in all other years fully automatic timing was used. The men's event was not contested in 1984 and 1985. In 1986 and 1987, the -mile track that the races were run on was per lap short, making the actual race distance less than 800 meters those years.GBR Athletics
