On Saturday 12th October 2019, Eliud Kipchoge ran into history by becoming the first man to achieve the barrier-breaking sub-two-hour marathon as part of the INEOS 1:59 Challenge.
Starting at 08:15AM CEST on the Reichsbrucke Bridge in Vienna, the 34-year-old Kenyan ran the 42.195KM distance in a staggering time of 1:59:40.2 to secure this landmark achievement. It was a performance which perfectly encapsulated Eliud the man - calm, consistent, patient and totally unflappable.
Vienna came out to witness history being made with, according to local police, an estimated 120K spectators lining the course to support Kipchoge, as well as his world-class team of 41 pacemakers, featuring some of the best athletes on the planet.
Kipchoge’s incredible moon-landing moment categorically proved his own mantra that No Human is Limited, and places him alongside other sporting greats such as Sir Roger Bannister – who ran the first sub-four minute mile in 1954 – and Usain Bolt, whose 100M world record of 9.58 seconds has stood since 2009, in capturing the attention of the world.
