The runner wants to inspire hope and break one of the last milestones in sporting history.

"In the journey of life there is ups and downs. In marathon there is a lot of challenges, ups and downs. There is pain in training, pain in running and joy at the end of the marathon," Kipchoge says in the trailer.

Kipchoge: The Last Milestone will be released digitally on Aug. 24. Jake Scott directed the film, from executive producers Ridley Scott, Kai-Lu Hsiung and Kevin Macdonald.
