| Status | Olympic | |
| Location | Olympisch Stadion, Antwerpen | |
| Participants | 28 from 6 countries | |
| Format | Five men ran for each team with 3 to count. Point-for-place scoring. | |
Only the leading three runners for each nation counted in the scoring. Placement points were adjusted, eliminating the fourth and fifth place finishers for any team from the final scoring placements. The United States won a surprising victory, and did so rather easily, with their three best runners finishing in the top six overall in the final.
