Also this is occurring….
PROJECT 222
British runner Josh Kerr is attempting to break the men’s one-mile world record of 3:43.13 (set in 1999). His target time is 3:42.00 - exactly 222 seconds - hence the name "Project 222."
This Saturday, July 18, 2026, at the London Diamond League.
Why it’s a big deal!
This is considered one of the hardest and oldest standing records in track and field. Kerr has been very public about his intent, aiming to leave a legacy and inspire the next generation of runners.
He’s using a custom-built "Hyperion 222" spike (3D-printed to his specific foot strike) and an aerodynamic, temperature-regulating speed suit developed by Brooks specifically for this race.
How to watch: The race is scheduled for 10:36 AM ET (3:36 PM local time in London)
