Maurten - "The Science of Sawe" - the story behind 01:59:30

Maurten dedicates a four-day space on Torstraße to Sabastian Sawe, the Kenyan marathoner who became the first person to officially run a marathon under two hours. Sawe clocked 1:59:30 in London on 26 April 2026, closing a chapter that began nearly a decade earlier with Kipchoge's attempts on the barrier. The Science of Sawe exhibition tells the story behind that time through the testing, the data and the person behind it.

Opening hours are 10:00 to 21:00 on Thursday, 10:00 to 15:30 and 17:00 to 21:00 on Friday, 10:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 21:00 on Saturday and 9:00 to 12:00 on Sunday.

Every event is free with sign-up on Eventbrite. Thursday brings a panel on fuelling for female athletes and an open house with a screening of Dan King's short film about Sawe. Friday brings a shakeout run with Josh Lynott, a chat with Jan Frodeno and the Mental Athletic special cover launch.
