Ruth Chepngetich Sets New Women's Marathon World Record in Chicago
The Kenyan runner broke the previous record by nearly two minutes, becoming the first woman to finish a marathon in under 2:10.
- Ruth Chepngetich completed the Chicago Marathon in 2:09:56, surpassing the previous record of 2:11:53 set by Tigst Assefa in Berlin last year.
- This victory marks Chepngetich's third win in Chicago, solidifying her dominance on this course.
- Chepngetich dedicated her world record to fellow Kenyan Kelvin Kiptum, who set the men's world record in Chicago last year and passed away in a car accident earlier this year.
- The record-breaking run was achieved without a coach, as Chepngetich has been self-coached throughout her career.
- John Korir won the men's race in Chicago with a time of 2:02:44, making it a double victory for Kenya.
