A new chapter in long-distance running has begun as adidas athletes Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha surpassed the 2-hour marathon mark at the London Marathon. Sabastian Sawe and Tigst Assefa achieved historic milestones, becoming the fastest male and female marathon runners in history.
Sawe set a new world record with a time of 1:59:30, breaking the 2-hour barrier. Yomif Kejelcha also completed his debut marathon in 1:59:41, and Tigst Assefa set a women-only world record with a time of 2:15:41.
All three athletes competed while wearing the new adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3, the fastest, lightest, and world-record-breaking version of the Adizero shoe to date.
The adidas innovation team collaborated closely with Sabastian, Tigst, and Yomif to deliver an exceptional selection of innovative running products to commemorate this historic moment. These include the Techfit+ Endurance Shorts and Climacool+ Singlet worn by Sabastian and Tigst, as well as the Techfit+ Endurance Suit worn by Yomif.
