Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"On 12 October 2019, Kipchoge ran the marathon distance on a special course in Vienna, Austria, achieving a time of 1:59:40 in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge.[6] The run did not count as a new record, as standard competition rules for pacing and fluids were not followed and it was not an open event. Regardless, Kipchoge remains the sole person in the history of mankind to have run a distance of a marathon race under two hours." [Wikipedia]
