* [[Faith Kipyegon]] (Kenya) ran a time of 4:06.42 during an exhibition run put on by [[Nike (brand)|Nike]] on 26 June 2025 at [[Stade Charléty]] in Paris. Nike researchers contrived a complex arrangement of eleven pacers to shield her from the wind and reduce aerodynamic drag. Strict regulations governing everything from shoes to pacers meant that the run was not eligible for official world records.{{cite news |last=Solomon |first=Christopher |date=26 June 2025 |title=Faith Kipyegon falls short in attempt to break 4-minute mile |publisher=[[National Geographic]] |url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/faith-kipyegon-4-minute-mile-attempt |access-date=2 October 2025}}
