With the goal of uniting the world through running, Kipchoge will race seven marathons across the seven continents over the next two years.
The tour will help raise funds for the Eliud Kipchoge Foundation, which supports educational and environmental causes worldwide.
“Running is the most universal sport; it connects us all. With this project, I want to compete not only for records, but for the people. I want to continue to push myself to run at my best, but I also want to inspire, give back, and remind everyone that no human is limited. I believe that we can all come together and become a better world," Kipchoge offered after receiving his six-star medal.
The first destination of the tour will be announced soon.
Llevo toda la mañana llorando porque hoy Eliud Kipchoge, mi héroe de héroes, corrió su último Major y se convirtió en Six Star Finisher. Habrá que ver qué viene para él, pero sea lo que sea para mí es y siempre va a ser el rey del maratón y el más grande de todos los tiempos. pic.twitter.com/KowX0S3O28
