Josh Kerr's Historic Mile World Record Attempt Could Put Him Among British Greats
Jul 15, 2026
Britain has a rich history with the Mile.
In 1954, Sir Roger Bannister became the first man to break the four-minute barrier. Decades later, Sebastian Coe, Steve Cram, and Steve Ovett etched their names into history as British world record holders.
Now, Brooks Running athlete Josh Kerr has the chance to join those legends.
On July 18, Josh Kerr will chase history at the London Diamond League in his attempt to break the longstanding Mile world record of 3:43.13.
Watch Kerr’s historic world record attempt LIVE on FloTrack. London Diamond League coverage starts at 8:15am ET on July 18th, and the Mile will be at 10:36 AM ET.
