Schon traditionell gibt es die Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) als erstes großes Highschool Crosslaufhighlight am Samstag, bevor es in der Woche darauf für Highschooler um den Footlocker Titel geht. Zusätzlich zu den NXN findet am Samstag auch die USATF Cross Country Championships statt, bevor ein Monat später die Crosslaufweltmeisterschaften in Tallahassee (Florida) stattfinden.
“I’m a three-time Olympic champion. I’ve achieved World Championship titles. I thought, What else? Why not dream outside the box?” says Kipyegon, a Kenya native and mother to a young daughter. “And I told myself, ‘If you believe in yourself, and your team believes in you, you can do it.’”
Currently, no woman runner is positioned to break the 4-minute barrier alone — but that reality can change with the right partnership. Nike is providing its unyielding support for Kipyegon’s pursuit of the landmark feat: She and the brand have worked together to optimize every aspect of her Breaking4 attempt, creating the most ideal conditions for her to push the limits of possibility. What’s more, Kipyegon’s moonshot is as much about inspiring future generations to challenge the impossible as it is about redefining limits in the present, for both elite and everyday athletes.
Nike and Box To Box Films will release an initial 50-minute episode of the limited-series documentary Breaking4: Faith Kipyegon vs. the 4-Minute Mile June 20 on Prime Video. The second episode of the limited series will premiere in July.
