The Bannister Miles is an annual community running event that commemorates Sir Roger Bannister’s historic sub-four-minute mile and encourages participation from across the University. The event returns for its third year on Monday 4 May 2026 (Bank Holiday), marking the 72nd anniversary of his achievement in Oxford on 6 May 1954.

Entries to the community mile are now open, through this link. Note that we have included a 20% discount for students, reducing the entry fee to £12.
