Dear Eliud Kipchoge,

This sub 2 hour is not the real thing. You are one of the greatest (if not the greatest) marathoner of all times and this project means you will not be on the road for one of the top marathons.

We are all huge fans and hope very much that you will come back to the real thing - competing in regular marathons. Hopefully we will also get to see one of the greatest matchups in history this spring.

I imagine many here and all over the world think the same.

Thank you for considering!

re: itai

I join the request.

Kipchoge, please reverse your decision. This is too much of a loss to the sport!

re: itai

It just doesn't make sense. NIKE are screwing the sport.

Kipchoge, please please please

re: Dana

I just got done posting these exact sentiments on one of the other threads. Please Eliud Kipchoge, do not sully your legacy with this sideshow!

I will sign the petition. Such a stupid endeavor

re: itai

I will sign this.

Sebastian Coe please help, this is not what athletics need now.

At best, this will e a one day story for the world. Nike are the worst...

re: itai

Good thing Kipchoge trolls these forums as jamin. I'm sure he'll get your message.

It should also be "Deer Eliud Kipchoge."

Most if not all these replies are the same user. Tip from one troll to another - you gotta switch up the writing style better and come up with more convincing usernames.

re: HardLoper

I will sign this petition. Imagine if we never saw Lagat vs El G, or Geb vs Bekele, or Coe vs Ovett, or Ryun vs Keino! Our sport would have lost something great, something unforgettable. This Nike Marketing Scam will be very forgettable, but Bekele vs Kipchoge in London will stand the test of time. Do the right thing Eliud, you're one of the sport's great competitors; compete...

re: itai

At the best scenario , there will be a picture with 1:59:50 or something but not one will care or remember! because it will be fake.

This whole project is a disaster

re: itai

Looks like there will be a first half pace maker and another half pace maker and Kipchoge is supposed to break the record.

Useless effort. Go Bekele-Kipchoge matchup

re: itai

Those times ruined the marathon.

Kipchoge, don't contribute to this evil

re: itai

Too late. This wouldn't have been made public unless all 3 hadn't already signed contracts. And we all know how NIKE is about breaking contracts.

re: itai

I commit not to buy NIKE anymore

re: itai

No disputing Nike are the worst, but has anyone thought of this from Eliud's perspective? He waited 13 years for that elusive Olympic gold medal and now has nothing left to prove. He's won in Chicago, Berlin and London and may not be interested in running the same course every year. He's probably not as fixated on Bekele as most letsrunners are and doesn't organise his running around him. Heck, he might not even consider Bekele his biggest rival. He's beaten all his contemporaries and may be looking for a new challenge or thinking about retirement - which we can't fault him on.

He still wants the world record as he mentioned and expressed.
