Competitors’ results will include both chip timing for the half marathon and the Bannister Mile. Speaking at the Iffley Road track last week Sir Roger said: “It is such an honour to have a section of the route named after me. I’m delighted that the Bannister Mile will take place in my home town of Oxford, at the same place where I set my four minute mile”. This year’s Oxford Half will take place on Sunday 12 October and entries are still available at the Oxford Half website. To mark the 60th anniversary since Sir Roger set the record, he has recently had a book published. “I have just published my autobiography called Twin Tracks, which is about my running in Oxford and my medical career.” Organisers of the Vitality OXFORDHALF have teamed up with Sir Roger and publishers of the book to offer people the chance to purchase the book for just £10.99, almost half the retail price. /promotions and type in the code OXFORD HALF.
