On 6 August, Halberg ran a mile race in Dublin at the famous Santry Stadium. It proved one of the greatest in history. Australian Herb Elliott shattered the World record with 3m 54.5s with Halberg becoming New Zealand's first sub four minute miler when he ran 3m 57.5s for fourth. The following day he ran a World best time for 4 miles recording 18m 22.6s.
