Bannister was the first person to ever to run a sub-four-minute mile, on May 6, 1954, at this track in Oxford. Bannister returned to the site of his greatest sporting achievement to participate in the Olympic torch relay as the flame is carried around the country to the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
