Josh Kerr has proven championship pedigree across the middle distance events, having earned multiple Olympic medals and world championship titles across the 1500m and 3,000m. This season, however, he has his eyes set on another challenge: rewriting the history books, and stamping his name at the top.

On July 18, Josh Kerr will chase the world record in the mile, but he’s also chasing a feeling on the track.

I was lucky enough to be alive the last time the Mile World Record was set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999. I was a month and a day old and I’ve grown up with this record. 27 years it has stood and it may just fall this weekend.

The stage is set for Josh Kerr's World Record Mile Attempt on Saturday, which has been labeled Project 222 by Kerr and his team.

On July 18, Josh Kerr will attempt to break the standing Mile World Record of 3:43.13, set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999. The attempt has been labeled Project 222, which would translate to 222 seconds and thus a 3:42 mile.

The outdoor track season officially kicked off this weekend and it didn’t take long for the performances to showcase themselves. From rewriting All-Time lists, to breaking collegiate and National Records, 2026 is shaping up to be a fast year.

Fresh off of an Indoor World 3K Championship, it has been announced that Josh Kerr will race the mile at the London Diamond League Meeting (the Novuna London Athletics Meet) on Saturday, July 18.

On Friday, March 20, the world’s top track athletes will gather in Kujawy Pomorze, Poland, for a shot at global gold at the World Indoor Championships.

The London Diamond League is shaping up to be one of the most exciting meets of the season. Here's what to watch for this weekend.

With just 15 days to go until the 15th season of the Diamond League kicks off, excitement is already building—especially with the announcement that middle-distance powerhouses Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr will go head-to-head in the men’s 1500m in London on Saturday, July 19.
