What is the Women's World Record for Running a Mile?

The current women's world record for running a mile is 4:12.56, set by Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands on July 12, 2019, at the Herculis meet in Monaco. Hassan's time broke the previous record of 4:12.33, set by Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia in 2016.

This record is a testament to Hassan's incredible speed and endurance. The mile is a grueling distance, and it takes a special athlete to be able to maintain a fast pace for the entire four laps. Hassan is one of the most dominant middle-distance runners in the world, and her world record is a fitting tribute to her talent and hard work.
