For more than twenty years, Eliud Kipchoge dominated marathon running, breaking records and redefining what was thought possible for the human body. Widely regarded as the greatest marathoner in history, the 41-year-old has now shifted his focus from competition to purpose.
Kipchoge emphasizes that he is not retiring but evolving. “What I am doing is not retiring. I am evolving. I am running for purpose,” he said, explaining that his next challenge is to take his running to the far corners of the globe through the Eliud Kipchoge World Tour. Unlike his past races, this endeavor is not about proving his greatness but about sharing it with the world.
Over the next two and a half years, the two-time Olympic champion will run a marathon on all seven continents. “Running is the most universal sport,” Kipchoge told Newsday on the BBC World Service. “It connects us all. With this project, I want to compete not only for records, but for the people. I want to inspire, to give back, and to remind everyone that no human is limited.”
