INEOS 1:59 Pace Challenge
In October 2019, Eliud Kipchoge made history completing a 1:59:40.2 marathon, it was a triumph of human performance, sports, science and technology. It cemented Eliud’s mantra that NoHumanIsLimited.
As part of this legacy, Eliud and INEOS want to inspire runners around the world to lay down their own INEOS 1:59 Challenge segment and attempt to match Eliud’s pace.
Can you run 352.6 metres in under 1 minute? Set yourself the challenge and see what you can achieve.

“The INEOS 1:59 Challenge has a special place in my heart, since then I have experienced that many people felt inspired to either start running or to take of the brakes in their heads and achieve what they want to achieve. I like to inspire people through running, therefore I ask runners to take on the challenge to run my pace from the 1:59 challenge.”
