The Chicago Marathon, held on 11 October, brought together more than 54,000 participants and produced several historic marks.
Amos Kipruto won the men’s race in 2:01:09. Hawi Feysa won the women’s race in 2:13:33, the fourth-fastest women’s marathon ever. In the wheelchair race, Catherine Debrunner set a new world record of 1:33:16, and Marcel Hug won his seventh Chicago title with a course record.
There were American records too: Galen Rupp broke the US masters record and Emma Grace Hurley ran the fastest marathon debut ever by an American woman.
