Fixed-time ultrarunning fans, get ready! The 2025 IAU 24-Hour World Championships take place on Saturday, October 18, in Albi, France. The race starts at 10 a.m. local time and follows a 1.5-kilometer (0.93 miles) course looping in and around the Albi stadium. The Albi venue in southwest France is no stranger to hosting championships, having held the 2016 IAU 24-Hour European Championships and the 2019 IAU 24-Hour World Championships.

"Once the world realizes that, I think everyone is going to want it. Every middle-aged guy who once played competitive sport and is now suffering from back pain is going to say, 'What is he on and how do I get it?'"

"I think it's going to be the most fascinating debut ever. Without a doubt, he could take Kelvin Kiptum's record as the fastest debutant."
