Team races at the Summer Olympics were track running competitions contested at the multi-sport event from 1900 to 1924.
The most consistent format was over 3000 metres: this distance was contested on three consecutive occasions from 1912 to 1924, at which point track team races were removed from the Olympic athletics programme.
The races typically permitted up to five athletes per nation, with a minimum of three required to form a team.
In 1900 Racing Club de France competed against the Amateur Athletic Association (AAA) of Great Britain.
Missouri won the race in a time of 3:52.2, with the St. Louis team finishing some 80 yards off the winners.
