At the 2026 London Marathon, Sabastian Sawe made history as the first person ever to officially run a marathon under two hours, while the race itself secured its place in history as the first to see two athletes go sub-two. It’s the kind of story Hollywood makes films about, the kind that has people naming their children Sawe, and the type of achievement you’d expect Adidas to craft a compelling campaign around.
This moment presented something incredibly valuable: a story that writes itself. You can imagine a billboard featuring Sawe, his history-defining time beneath him, and a bold line above: “The Time is Nawe!”. But that’s not quite how it played out.
