Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge has run the quickest marathon ever recorded in 1:59:40. A sub-2-hour marathon wasn’t considered humanly possible until within the last 20 years.

The race against the clock, backed by the British petrochemicals billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, unfolded on a 9.6-kilometer circuit of perfectly flat, tree-lined road, handpicked for this attempt.
