Who is NN Running Team

The brainchild of Global Sports Communication director Jos Hermens, the formation of the NN Running Team, has proven to be one of the most innovative and ground-breaking developments in athletics. Launched in April 2017, the project has delivered on its goals to provide the athletes with access to better coaching, medical care and additional athlete support services with particular progress made in offering regular physiotherapy to athletes in training camps and during competition. That extra support has been reflected in the results enjoyed by the athletes in the NN Running Team. Since its inception its athletes have claimed no less than 15 Abbott World Marathon Majors victories, set eight world records, snared world titles on the road, track and cross country and globally won over 200 road races.

Among its star athletes include; Eliud Kipchoge, the first man in history to run a sub-two-hour marathon; Joshua Cheptegei, Olympic and world 5000m and 10,000m champion, as well as current world 5000m and 10,000m record holder; Geoffrey Kamworor, the three-time world half marathon champion and two-time TCS New York City Marathon winner; Letesenbet Gidey, world half marathon record holder, and Yalemzerf Yehualaw, 2022 TCS London Marathon champion. 

The NN Running Team has also played a role in the organization of many unforgettable endurance events in recent years including the Nike Breaking2 Project, the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, the NN Valencia World Record Day, and the NN Mission Marathon.
