Chicago Marathon Honors Deceased Record Holder

The Chicago Marathon, held on a clear fall morning, paid tribute to Calvin Kipdom, a Kenyan runner who set a world record last year but tragically passed away in a car accident. The event showcased international participation with runners from various countries, including Kenya and Ethiopia, setting new records. Despite a 15% increase in international visitors, numbers have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels. The marathon also featured a moment of silence and other commemorative activities for Kipdom.
