Kenya's Ruth Chepngetich broke the world record to win the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. Assefa set the previous record with victory at the 2023 Berlin Marathon in two hours, 11 minutes and 53 seconds. This is my dream that has come true," said Chepngetich, the 2019 world marathon champion. "I've fought a lot thinking about the world record and I have fulfilled it." In the men's race, Kenya's John Korir ran a personal-best time to claim victory before paying tribute to world record holder Kelvin Kiptum, last year's winner.
