Join us for lunch and a viewing party of Faith Kipyegon’s Sub 4 Mile attempt!
In her attempt, Kipyegon 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 world record time of 4:07.64, set in 2023, to become the first woman to break the threshold Roger Bannister first surpassed roughly 70 years ago.
Faith Kipyegon vs. the 4-Minute Mile — the official name of the attempt — is tempting to think of as a future moment. One day, 4 minutes, and bang. But it’s this; the attempt has already begun. It is the weekly long runs, the strength and conditioning training, the cool early mornings in Kenya’s forests and the unforgiving hot days on the track. It’s the hours spent with her team, Monday to Saturday, mopping the floors or baking fresh chapatis. It’s in the researching, the innovating, the strategizing, the planning. Most of all, it is the dreaming — the end-to-end simulation that she has run so many times already in her mind. The total confidence in her ability, her focus, her training. She has faith, and we have her.
The day itself, the starting line? *That *is the celebration. Faith, we’ll meet you there.
