Kenneth Leonard Norris (born 11 July 1931) is a British long-distance runner. He competed in the men's 10,000 metres at the 1956 Summer Olympics.[1] He was one of many signatories in a letter to The Times on 17 July 1958 opposing 'the policy of apartheid' in international sport and defending 'the principle of racial equality which is embodied in the Declaration of the Olympic Games'.[2]
