"Me and my family caught a proposal during the chicago marathon!! we dont know who they are and werent able to catch them so if anyone knows them pls tag/send it to them! @Chicago Marathon #chicagomarathon"
"We're in a little bit of awe that we didn't just get cheers from random strangers, but now they've been sending us videos they took and in the case of one, putting it on TikTok. It's incredibly special."
"In the video, Dockum is seen pulling a ring from his bag as his partner covers his mouth in shock. His partner then places the ring on Dockum's finger, and the two share a kiss over the fence."
On Sunday (12 October), more than 50,000 runners took part in the Chicago Marathon, a 26.2-mile course through 29 neighbourhoods. Runner Chris Dockum stopped during the race to propose to his partner, who was watching from the crowd; an onlooker filmed the moment and posted it to TikTok. The clip received thousands of views and congratulatory comments, and Dockum said the attention and shared videos from strangers felt incredibly special. Viewers identified one member of the cheering group as the couple's friend Tim, and commentators compared the moment to other public LGBTQ+ engagements.
