Did you know that there is a person who ran a marathon in less than 2 hours? In 2019, Eliud Kipchoge, a Kenyan long-distance runner, achieved this incredible feat, running the 26.2 miles in just 1 hour 59 minutes and 40 seconds.

Kipchoge's record-breaking run took place in Vienna, Austria, and was part of the Ineos 1:59 Challenge, a specially-designed race with a flat course and a team of pacemakers to help him maintain his pace.

Despite not being recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) as an official world record due to the special conditions, Kipchoge's achievement has inspired many and is considered a milestone in the sport of running.

Fun fact: Kipchoge had previously come close to breaking the 2-hour barrier in 2017, when he completed a marathon in 2 hours and 25 seconds.
