On 6th May 1954, at the Iffley Road Track, Oxford University, Roger Bannister, accompanied by Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher, made history by becoming the first man in the world to run the mile in under 4 minutes. Bannister's remarkable time of 3 minutes 59.4 seconds was a groundbreaking achievement in the world of athletics and is immortalised in this extraordinary photograph, personally signed by all three of these legendary athletes.
Roger Bannister was a British middle-distance runner who became an icon in the sports world when he broke the four-minute mile barrier. Beyond his athletic prowess, Bannister was also a distinguished neurologist, balancing a career in medicine with his dedication to running. His accomplishment on that historic day in 1954 remains one of the most celebrated moments in sporting history.
Chris Chataway was not only an exceptional runner but also an accomplished broadcaster and politician. Known for his role as a pacemaker in Bannister's record-breaking run, Chataway himself held world records in long-distance running. His contributions to both athletics and public service have left a lasting legacy.
Chris Brasher was a versatile athlete and sports journalist, best known for his role in Bannister's sub-four-minute mile as a pacemaker. He later went on to co-found the London Marathon, significantly influencing the world of long-distance running. Brasher's passion for athletics and his innovative spirit continue to inspire runners globally.
