The INEOS 1:59 Pace Challenge was held together with Eliud Kipchoge for the first time on 27 September in Vienna. Two fixed pillars on the Prater Hauptallee permanently mark the distance. The starting signal for a worldwide campaign was given on 12 October. "Don't set a limit, set a challenge", Eliud Kipchoge uses this claim to call for participation.
