Beijing time on March 12, the second stop of Eliud Kipchoge's Seven-Continents World Marathon tour was announced. After the Cape Town Marathon in Africa in May, he will arrive in Brazil, South America on July 12 to compete in the Porto Alegre Marathon.
Kipchoge wrote on his personal social media: "Running is a language that can be spoken to the whole world — it tells stories of hope, discipline and unity. I am very excited to return to Brazil, to the place where I won my first Olympic gold medal. Each continent has its own spirit, and I look forward to sharing this journey with runners in South America and inspiring everyone to believe that 'human potential is limitless.' See you on July 12 on the streets of Porto Alegre, see you on the 42-km course."
The Porto Alegre Marathon (New Balance 42K Porto Alegre) is considered the fastest course in South America: the route is flat with a total elevation gain of only 20 meters, it is a World Athletics Elite Label race, and 2026 is the event's third edition.
Two days later, on March 13, he will announce his third stop. Asia, Europe, or Oceania?
Kipchoge's previously announced two races were sponsored by adidas and NewBalance, respectively — will his next race be on Nike's home turf?
