Kiplimo and Feysa return to defend titles at Chicago Marathon

Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda and Hawi Feysa of Ethiopia, the defending champions of the Chicago Marathon, seek to repeat their victories in the 48th edition of the event on Sunday. Kiplimo, who won last year in a time of 2:02:23, has faced strong competition, racing to a near-record time at the London Marathon earlier this year. Feysa, having won the title in 2025, arrives in better shape and faces a significant challenge from Kenya's Brigid Kosgei, a two-time Chicago winner and current record holder. The marathon features over 55,000 runners competing on a course known for its potential to yield fast times.
