Historic nightmare: Ruth Chepngetich finally rolls out the big Rock from history book” as she chips in a shocking new world colossal record” probably reigning from edges to edges” here is the full results from 1-10 for both men and women…

Kenya’s Ruth Chepngetich shattered the marathon world record by knocking almost two minutes off the previous best as she became the first woman to run under two hours 10 minutes in Chicago.

The 30-year-old ran 2:09.56 – considerably faster than Tigist Assefa’s mark of 2:11:53, set in Berlin last year – as she made it three wins in four years at the event.

Her time was more than four minutes better than her best, set over the same course two years ago.

Chepngetich reached the halfway mark in 1:04:16, the fifth-fastest time in history for the half-marathon distance, and after missing out on the world record by 14 seconds in 2022 she powered through the final stages to break through the sub-2:10 barrier.

“I feel so great. I’m very proud of myself. This is my dream. I fought a lot, thinking about the world record,” said Chepngetich, who dedicated the feat to men’s marathon world record holder Kelvin Kiptum who died in a car crash in February.

“The world record has come back to Kenya, and I dedicate this world record to Kelvin Kiptum.”

Here are the results from the 2024 Chicago Marathon. The top wheelchair elites have finished with the top runners still on the course.
