The 2024 Chicago Marathon is set for Sunday, marking the 47th annual edition of the beloved race.
The participant list is stacked with some of the world’s greatest distance runners.
The women’s category includes Ethiopia’s Sutume Kebede, American Keira D’Amato, and Kenyan star Ruth Chepngetich, who won the 2021 and 2022 races and was runner-up in 2023.
In the men’s race, Kenyans Amos Kipruto and Vincent Ngetich will both be competing.
The City of Chicago will be honoring Kenyan runner Kelvin Kiptum this year after his world record run in 2023. Kiptum tragically passed in a car accident with his coach months after his historic win. The young phenom ran the course in just 2:00.35
