On Thursday, June 26, 2025, the attention of athletics fans across the world will be firmly fixed at the Stade Charléty in Paris, France where Kenyan runner Faith Kipyegon will be seeking to run a mile in less than four minutes in the Nike sponsored project named Breaking4.
Kipyegon is already regarded as one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time, but her inspiring journey for supremacy is not over yet.
The Nike Breaking4 Project is a testament to Kipyegon’s relentless drive and is expected to captivate individuals from all walks of life.
From the residents of her little-known Ndababit Village in Nakuru County, to various lavish estates in Cape Town and New York, most people will closely follow the event to see whether Kipyegon will enter history books as the first ever woman to run a mile in less than four minutes.
To achieve that incredible feat, the mother of one will have to lower her current world record of 4:07.64 by over 7.65 seconds.
On paper, it looks like an impossible thing to attain. However, like Kipyegon’s training mate Eliud Kipchoge always says, No Human is Limited. Below is how you can watch the historic event life from the Stade Charléty.

Meanwhile, the organizers of the project have announced that they will release a film revolving around Kipyegon’s preparations for the event.
“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.
The immersive limited series is an intimate and electrifying portrait of an athlete pushing the boundaries of human potential. The limited series follows Faith’s preparation for her groundbreaking attempt through exclusive access and interviews that illustrate her commitment to redefining the limits of the present for both elite and everyday athletes, and inspiring future generations to challenge the impossible,” read part of a statement on Nike’s website.
Should Kipyegon run the mile under four minutes, she will add another milestone in her remarkable career that has seen her win three consecutive 1500m Olympic Games gold medals and numerous World Championships titles.
