The distance medley relay has been held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships annually since 1967. Since 1997, the race consists of a 1200 meters leg followed by a 400 meters sprint, followed by an 800 meters leg and concluding with the 1600 meters anchor for a total distance of 4000 meters. Before 1997, the order of the legs was different, with the 800 m leg leading off and the 1200 m leg third. Before 1994, imperial analogues of the four legs were held instead, from 880 yards to 440 yards to 1320 yards to the mile run anchor.

Hand timing was used until 1975 and in 1980, while in all other years fully automatic timing was used. The race was not held in 1983 or from 1986 to 1993. The women's race began in 1994. Official relay splits were published by Flash Results beginning in 2008.GBR Athletics
