IAAF World Relays Nassau 2017

The third edition of the IAAF World Relays, will once again be held in Nassau, The Bahamas, on 22-23 April, 2017.

The Bahamian capital's Thomas A Robinson National Stadium has thus far been the only venue to host the latest addition to the IAAF’s global competition programme, which from its inaugural edition in 2014 has been lauded as an exciting innovation on the international athletics calendar with a fan-friendly focus on team competition.

The 2017 programme will consist of five events over four relay disciplines: the 4x100m, 4x200m, 4x400m and 4x800m for both men and women, and a mixed 4x400m which will cap the competition's second day.

In 2014, 276 men and 194 women from 41 member federations competed. The following year, 514 athletes from 42 countries competed, 284 men and 230 women. Record participation is expected again in the 2017 edition.
