    He started 9 meters before the start/finish line

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1mile = 1.609 km

    1.609 km * 1000meter/1km = 1609 meters

    He ran 1609 meters

    each lap is 400 meters

    he ran 4 laps

    4*400 = 1600

    1609-1600 = 9 meters

    He started 9 meters before the start/finish line
