New film tells story of 'greatest race' - the Miracle Mile of 1954

London 11 March

To mark Commonwealth Day 2013 the CGF is very proud to present a new short film telling the story of what is arguably the greatest athletics race of all time - the Miracle Mile of 1954.

The final of the one-mile race at the Commonwealth (then called the ‘Empire Games’)in Vancouver, Canada on Aug. 7, 1954 featured the two titans of middle-distance running in the 1950s; Roger Bannister (England), and John Landy (Australia). Both men were world famous runners, both were at the peak of their athletics careers, and they were the first two men, within the previous six months, to break the 4-minute mile time barrier that many at that time thought was impenetrable.
