THE LAST MILESTONE: ELIUD KIPCHOGE SHARES HIS JOURNEY IN NEW DOCUMENTARY

Kenya’s marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge’s documentary feature Kipchoge: The Last Milestone is now streaming on Showmax.

The documentary follows Kipchoge as he prepares for his record-shattering feat. His journey from his training grounds in Kenya, to the high-tech facilities in Europe, to his record attempt in Vienna. Directed by Emmy winner and Grammy nominee Jake Scott, Kipchoge: The Last Milestone is executive-produced by Academy Awards nominee Ridley Scott and Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald.

Speaking about the film when it was first announced, director Jake Scott said, “We set out to document an extraordinary athlete attempting the seemingly impossible. Eliud Kipchoge ran for mankind that day and with it delivered his belief that ‘no human is limited’. What we discovered was the power of humility to inspire.”

On his part, Kipchoge said, “It was a privilege working with director Jake Scott and his team to capture the story of my journey to breaking the two-hour marathon barrier. I hope this film will share my message and inspire people around the world for generations to come to have the courage to dream big and push past their limits.”

Throughout the film, Kipchoge not only shares his journey but also his own inspirational quotes that have come to define his mentality and his legendary athletics career, which also includes a world record at the 2018 Berlin Marathon, a record four wins at the London Marathon and a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics marathon in Rio.

In the course of the 1hr 23min film, we also get to hear from those who have influenced Kipchoge and those who helped him achieve the historic milestone in Vienna, from his coach Patrick Sang, an Olympic medal-winning athlete himself, to the INEOS 1:59 Challenge team, to Bernard Lagat, the five-time Olympian and thirteen-time medalist who was one of Kipchoge’s 41 pacemakers during the sub-two hour marathon.
