Race Rundown: The 2025 Chicago Marathon
The 2025 Chicago Marathon, held on Sunday, Oct. 12, generated significant hype, with notable stories emerging from the event, despite no new world records being set.
The Chicago Marathon is one of the seven World Marathon Majors, which include Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago, and New York, in chronological order.
While Boston is the oldest and most popular marathon, Chicago's flat and quick course makes it an ideal stage for world-record-breaking performances, with both men's and women's marathon world records having been set in Chicago.
- The men's world record was set by Kelvin Kiptum in 2023, with a time of 2 hours and 35 seconds.
- The women's world record was set by Ruth Chepngetich in 2024, with a time of 2 hours, 9 minutes, and 56 seconds.
