Nike has announced official details of their BREAKING2 race, which will see three of the brand’s top marathon runners attempt to break a 2-hour marathon this Saturday, May 6th. The BREAKING2 initiative will take place in Monza, Italy on Saturday morning when Eliud Kipchoge, Lelisa Desisa and Zersenay Tadese will all attempt to do what no runner has ever done before: run a complete marathon in under 2 hours. All three racers will be wearing Nike Running’s latest innovation, the Zoom VaporFly Elite, the brand’s new racing shoe featuring ZoomX foam that is said to be the fastest racer ever with the ultimate energy-returning cushioning system.
The event in Italy is closed to the public, but anyone with internet access can watch the race unfold by tuning into Nike’s livestream. Here’s what you need to know to watch:
