With her victory at the Chicago Marathon in 2:09:57 hours, Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich set a new world record. In doing so, she beat the previous best time of 2:11:53 hours, which was set by the Ethiopian Tigist Assefa in Berlin in September 2023, by around two minutes.
The 30-year-old Chepngetich won in Chicago for the third time. In 2021 and 2022 she became the first woman to run through the finish line of the well-known marathon, in which the Kenyan Brigid Kosgei also ran hers in 2019 World record had run. Two years ago, with a time of 2:14:18, she missed the then world record by just 14 hundredths of a second. This time she even achieved a so-called fabulous record – a significant improvement on the existing best time. “That was my dream and it came true,” said the winner after her 2:09 hour run. “I’m very grateful.”
Chepngetich started the race extremely quickly after the start. At first she even headed for a time of 2:06 hours, but was unable to maintain this pace.
A Kenyan also won among the men. John Korir reached the finish in 2:02:43 minutes. This put him just over two minutes ahead of the current world record of 2:00:35 hours.
