Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge is set to make history in Vienna on October 12, 2019, as he attempts to become the first athlete to run a marathon under two hours.
Organisers of the INEOS 1:59 Challenge confirmed that the event will start at 9:19am East African Time on Saturday.
"The #INEOS159 Challenge will begin at 08:15 CEST tomorrow morning. But where in the world will you be watching?" read a tweet from the INEOS 1:59 Challenge organisers on Friday afternoon.
Kipchoge, who holds the men's marathon world record with a time of 2hr 01min 39sec, set in Berlin on September 16, 2018, will attempt to break the two-hour barrier in a specially prepared path in a huge park in Vienna.
