The Westminster Mile is the world’s biggest timed road mile of 2014 to officially mark the 60th anniversary of Roger Bannister’s legendary first sub-four minute mile.
With 30 races over the iconic distance on Saturday 24 May The programme includes one-mile races for children, families and adults and features the British Athletics One-Mile Road Championships for age groups, seniors and wheelchair athletes. The runners start on The Mall and finish in front of Buckingham Palace.
Sir Roger Bannister will be patron of the event and the winner of the Senior Men’s Championships will be awarded the newly commissioned Sir Roger Bannister trophy. Diane Leather (now Diane Charles), the first woman to run a sub-five-minute mile, has given her name to the new trophy for the winner of the Senior Women’s Championships.
Fantastic to watch Chris progress over the last few years into the top flight athlete that he is.
Also pleased to note that Lynsey has made a good return after injury.
Best of luck to both.
