The inspirational Eliud Kipchoge’s INEOS 1:59 Challenge film is set to be released next month.

Kipchoge became the first man to ever run a full marathon, 42.195km, under two hours when he clocked 1:59:40 in Vienna, Austria in 2019. He also holds the world record over the distance at 2:01:39.

During the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, a special project sponsored by British Chemical Company-INEOS, Kipchoge was challenged to break the two-hour barrier fuelled by the slogan ‘No Human is Limited’.

In a statement, the Global Sports Communication stable, the world marathon record holder’s management, said that they had decided to document his journey as an inspiration to humanity in a movie titled, ‘The Last Milestone!’.

“We are excited to announce a cinematic portrait of the barrier-breaking journey of NN Running Team superstar Eliud Kipchoge to create history and become the first man to run a sub-two-hour marathon is set to be released next month,” said the statement.

“By breaking the magical two-hour barrier in the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, Eliud Kipchoge showed what great strength lies in pure willpower, dedication and commitment. Eliud broke a great barrier in sport and in doing so he gave hope and inspiration. Others might do the same in music or politics or business or any other area which is close to their hearts.”

“One of the goals of this projects was to show the world that “No Human Is Limited” and inspire people around the world. The aim was to make it bigger than athletics and bigger than sport,” said Valentijn Trouw, Kipchoge’s manager who led the performance side of the challenge.
