Challenges

INEOS has a thirst for a challenge and a belief that No Human Is Limited. Bringing together some of the greatest minds and talent in sport allows us to take on great sporting challenges, enabling extraordinary athletes to achieve extraordinary things.

We love a challenge

Which is why we decided to take on one of the last remaining barriers in modern athletics, breaking the two-hour barrier in the marathon. Attempted by others, conquered by INEOS. Bringing together top talent from across the INEOS sporting family, and driven by grit, determination and rigour, the INEOS 1:59 Challenge supported Eliud Kipchoge to break the two-hour barrier in a time of 1:59.40.2.  Through innovation and advancement in technology and human performance the impossible was achieved.
