Breaking4 was an attempt by Kenyan middle-distance runner Faith Kipyegon to become the first woman to break the four-minute barrier for the mile. Hosted by Nike, the event took place on 26 June 2025 at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in Paris, France.

Kipyegon fell 6.91 seconds short of the four-minute barrier with a time of 4:06.91, still faster than her official world record by 0.73 seconds.

Nike later subtracted the reaction time, adjusting her official time to 4:06.42.
