Logo of the event. The Ineos 1:59 Challenge, held on 12 October 2019, was an attempt by Kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge to break the two-hour mark for running the marathon distance, which he achieved in a time of 1:59:40.2.
In 2019, Kipchoge participated in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge, another attempt to break the two-hour mark. This attempt succeeded, with Kipchoge finishing in 1:59:40.2. This time did not qualify as a world record because, as with Breaking2, the conditions did not conform to the IAAF's requirements.
During the 2-hour attempt, the runners were paced by a lead car and 30 supporting pacers joining in stages (both considered illegal under IAAF rules).
