Faith Kipyegon will soon attempt to become the first woman to run a mile in under 4 minutes, and Nike, her partner of 16 years, is meeting this monumental sport moment by offering two ways to witness history.
Nike will welcome fans to Stade Charléty in Paris on June 26 for the opportunity to support Faith’s historic attempt in person. Nike is also partnering with Box To Box Films to invite supporters from around the world to watch Faith’s moonshot on a livestream broadcast available on Nike’s YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Douyin accounts, as well as Prime Video.
In addition, Nike and Box To Box Films are producing an immersive, limited-series documentary about Faith’s preparation for her groundbreaking attempt — and how she’s harnessing the full power of Nike to help make her dream a reality.
Faith, already the world record holder in the mile, is pursuing a feat that was once considered an insurmountable limitation and has, until now, remained beyond the reach of the world’s most elite women athletes. She will attempt to shave at least 7.65 seconds off her personal best of 4:07.64, set in 2023, to become the first woman to break the threshold Roger Bannister first surpassed roughly 70 years ago.
She chose to attempt the milestone as a challenge distinct from her dominance in the 1,500-meter run, for which she also holds the world record, and to further cement her legacy as the most decorated woman middle-distance athlete of all time.
In pursuing the landmark feat, she’ll push the limits of sport beyond what’s long believed to be achievable, setting the stage for future generations to dream big.
