No, it was a genuine race (the 'pacemakers' were also competing, were not lapped, and had to finish the race).

- evgen 7y agoThey completed the race (not hard to do when it is only a mile) but please do not try to suggest that Chataway or Brasher were in that race as anything other than designated pacesetters and windbreaks for Bannister.
- bainsfather 7y agoSure. But to pace Bannister on e.g. lap 3, his pacemaker had to run those 3 laps at wr pace. And Bannister had to run the final lap alone.
