The men’s 400 metres at Paris 1900 was contested through three heats followed by a final. The first two athletes from each heat qualified, but only three runners ultimately started the final, largely because several American athletes declined to compete on Sunday amid the wider scheduling dispute at the Games. Maxey Long won the final in 49.4 seconds, with Bill Holland second and Denmark’s Ernst Schultz third.
