Halberg, Murray (1933-...), a New Zealand athlete, was one of the greatest distance runners in the nation's history. Halberg was the first New Zealand athlete to break 4 minutes in the mile run. During his career, he set world records in both the indoor and outdoor 2-mile run and set a world record in the outdoor 3-mile run. He also ran on a world record 4-mile relay team, though the record was never officially approved because the four runners were not from the same country. Halberg won the 5,000-meter (3.1-mile) event at the 1960 Summer Olympic Games in Rome. Halberg retired from competition in 1964.
