Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya shattered the women's marathon world record, finishing the Chicago Marathon in 2:09:56, over a minute faster than the previous record held by Tigist Assefa.
In an emotional tribute, Chepngetich and Korir raced in honor of Kelvin Kiptum, the late world record holder, whose tragic passing left a mark on the marathon community.
The Chicago Marathon saw an extraordinary turnout, with nearly 50,000 runners participating, providing a vibrant atmosphere to celebrate both individual achievement and the spirit of remembrance.
Chepngetich's record-breaking accomplishment solidifies her place in marathon history, as she becomes the first woman to finish a marathon in under 2 hours and 10 minutes.
