Media Marathon world record holder (2:02:57) and 2013 Chicago Marathon champion and course record holder (2:03:45), Dennis Kimetto (KEN) and half marathon world record holder and 2015 Chicago Marathon champion, Florence Kiplagat (KEN) stand out among the talented group. Joining them are defending men s champion Dickson Chumba (KEN), 2012 champion Tsegaye Kebede (ETH) and 2010 and 2012 women s champion Atsede Baysa (ETH). Dickson, Tsegaye and Atsede have run their fastest career marathons in Chicago, and both Tsegaye and Dennis have experienced the thrill of breaking our course record, said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. To have so many past champions in one competition is thrilling. And there is depth on the American side as well; without pacesetters, we could see a new champion emerge from this talented field. Back-to-back Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K champion Stephen Sambu leads the way for runners making their marathon debuts in Chicago The Bank of America Chicago Marathon boasts a long and storied history as one of the premier marathons for runners to make their 26.2-mile debuts. Leading the way for debut runners this year is back-to-back Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K champion and the world s fastest 8K road runner in history, Stephen Sambu (Tucson, Ariz.). Sambu, a native of Kenya living and training in Arizona, stands out as one of the best competitors on the road racing circuit today. He ran into the record books in 2014 when he posted a 22:01.1 8K en route to a 10K victory at the B.A.A. 10K. He made his debut in the windy city at the 2015 Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K, running uncontested to clock the fastest time in more than a decade and the 12th fastest time in the event s history. He returned in 2016 to run the fourth fastest time in the event s history, 22:45, beating his nearest challenger by 66 seconds. Sambu like thousands of runners on race day - follows in the footsteps of some of racing s biggest legends to make their debuts in Chicago. Former world record holder Khalid Khannouchi debuted in 1997, running 2:07:10 to set a course, debut and North American record. Ondoro Orso followed in 1998 to crack 2:07:00, running 2:06:54 to set a new course, debut, North American and Kenyan national record. Evans Rutto elevated the game in 2005 with a new debut record, 2:05:50, and Ethiopian Ejegayehu Dibaba ran the second fastest debut for women in 2011, 2:22:09. I am excited to make my debut in Chicago because it has such a strong tradition for debut runners, said Sambu. I am training very hard, and I cannot wait to race in front of so many fans. I love the flat streets of Chicago, and I am looking forward to coming back. Defending champions Tatyana McFadden and Kurt Fearnley lead diverse professional wheelchair field Tatyana McFadden and Kurt Fearnley (AUS) highlight one of the most internationally diverse and talented professional wheelchair fields in Chicago Marathon history.

8 McFadden made her marathon debut in Chicago in 2009, outsprinting her more seasoned competitors in the closest women s wheelchair finish in Chicago Marathon history. She placed third in 2010 and she has been undefeated since She broke her own course record last year, clocking 1:41:10. A win this year would mark her sixth consecutive victory and seventh overall since her debut. McFadden has dominated on the global stage, winning the grand slam the Boston, London, Chicago and New York City marathons - three years in a row. She is currently in first place on the AWMM leaderboard. Fearnley, a veteran of more than 50 marathons (with over 30 career victories), became a household name in Chicago after completing the three-peat from and then adding two more victories in 2011 and He finished second in 2013 and 2014 in historic sprint finishes, losing by just one second each time. He kicked off his 2016 campaign by beating rival Ernst Van Dyk (RSA) to the line at the Tokyo Marathon, and then picked up a pair of third place finishes in Boston and London. Three-time Chicago Marathon runner-up Manuel Schär (SUI) stands out as McFadden s main challenger. Several men, including Marcel Hug (SUI), Ernst Van Dyk (RSA) and Josh George (Champaign, IL.), could derail Fearnley from earning back-to-back victories marks 40th anniversary of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon More than 4,200 runners started the inaugural Mayor Daley Marathon in 1977, making it the largest mega marathon in the world. In 2017, more than 40,000 runners are expected to cross the finish line on Columbus Drive to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, highlighting both the growth of the Chicago Marathon and the broad, international appeal of running. Since its inception, more than 700,000 runners have made the trek from the start line to the finish line in Grant Park. I have watched world records fall in Chicago, and I have watched the race grow from 6,100 runners in 1990 to more than 40,000 today, said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. I have seen running change lives, and I have seen the resilience of our community when tragedy strikes. We have more than 40 years in Chicago to commemorate we have a community of runners to celebrate who make this race possible, and who keep the spirit of running alive in Chicago and around the world.

A pack of nine remained in contention until mile 20 where Chumba, Sammy Kitwara and Abera Kuma made the first legitimate move of the race. By mile 24, Chumba opened a 20 second gap on the chase pack, a gap that proved insurmountable in the end. Chumba, hot off the heels of his Abbott World Marathon Majors victory and course record at the 2014 Tokyo Marathon, first impressed fans at the 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, finishing 3rd overall in a career personal best, 2:04:32. While winner Eluid Kipchoge dropped the hammer with two miles to go, Chumba and Kitwara traded leads and pained expressions as they dueled down the home stretch for second place. In the end, Chumba could not match Kitwara s final burst of speed, but he still managed to take more than a minute off of his PR. Chumba experienced several performance breakthroughs in 2014, setting PRs on the road in the 10K, half marathon and marathon. He opened 2016 by nearly winning the Tokyo Marathon, but a final push from eventual winner Feyisa Lilesa with one kilometer to go crushed his hopes of a second victory in Japan.

Comparisons to American record holder Ryan Hall followed and many in the sport eagerly awaited Estrada s marathon debut. He finally made his 26.2-mile entrance at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Los Angeles. He hung with the leaders for 18 miles before succumbing to the heat and dropping out. Estrada attempted to make the U.S. Olympic team one more time on the track, finishing a distant 11th in the 5000m - well outside of the place he needed to represent the United States in Rio (prior to the 5000m, he dropped out of the 10,000m). Born in Mexico but raised in the U.S., Estrada represented Mexico at the 2012 London Olympic Games in the 10,000m, making the final and finishing 21st in 28:36. At the time, he was already an accomplished runner at Northern Arizona University. He graduated from NAU in 2013 as a nine-time All-American. He became a U.S. citizen in 2014 and won his first U.S. title soon after at the 5K Road Championships. Estrada s 2016 season largely focused on making the U.S. Olympic team.

Expectations were high for Fukatsu after his course record performance at the 2012 Kanaguri Hai Tamana Half Marathon. He dropped his competitors and ran a solo 1:01:25 - the all-time 8th fastest Japanese mark on an unaided course (now the 16th fastest time). Fukatsu has dipped under 62 minutes twice in the half marathon.

While he considered making his debut at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials (he qualified based on his half marathon time), he ultimately decided to tackle the distance beforehand. After running with a small pack for 16 miles, Hampton made a break up a hill and never looked back. He went into the race expecting to run around 2:18, and then he experienced the kind of debut all runners hope for: he exceeded his expectations, achieved the Olympic Trials A standard and added a victory to his resume. He also ended a 19-year drought for the state of Connecticut he was the first person from the state to win the race since Hampton, a University of Hartford graduate and a full-time highway design engineer, didn t have the race he dreamed of having at the Trials. In spite of struggling with the heat over the final 13 miles of the course, he hung on to finish in the top 50.

He captured his first and only marathon career victory in his debut, clocking 2:11:57. Since then, he has struggled to reach the podium, and his times have ranged from 2:12 to 2:23.

Kebede, an Olympic bronze medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Marathon and a bronze medalist from the 2009 IAAF World Marathon Championships (he just missed the podium at the 2013 IAAF World Marathon Championships, finishing fourth), is one of the most accomplished and consistent marathoners of the last decade. The last time he toed the line in Grant Park in 2012 (after being left off of Ethiopia s Olympic team), he won in a course record time and PR, 2:04:38 (Dennis Kimetto broke the course record the next year). Kebede made history for the first time in Chicago in 2010 when he and the late Sammy Wanjiru battled down Columbus Drive in what has become one of the greatest duels in the event s history. Wanjiru beat Kebede to the line, but the battle between the two stars captured the true spirit of athletics. In addition to his 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon win, Kebede has claimed victories in Paris (2008), Fukuoka (2008, 2009) and London (2010, 2013). Most recently, he finished fifth at the Rotterdam Marathon, dropping off the lead pack 30K into the race. Kebede became the first non-kenyan to win the Abbott World Marathon Majors (AWMM) when he took home the $500,000 prize for the series. In 2013 he became the first man to place in the top five of three AWMM races in a single year. He has finished in the top three of an AWMM event 11 times, and he has placed in the top 10 of all 15 AWMM races he has run. Although Kebede is almost exclusively a marathoner, he has run 27:56 for 10,000m and 59:35 for the half marathon. Personal Kebede is the fifth of 13 children. He grew up extremely poor in Gerar Ber, Ethiopia, and he worked by gathering firewood, and later as a herder to help his family; he earned less than US $1. Just before his first marathon in Addis Ababa, a bus he was riding on went off the road, severely injuring several passengers. Kebede escaped with a minor leg wound and went on to win his debut race.

Elkanah Kibet came to the United States in 2006 and immediately made an impact at Rend Lake Community College. As a freshman, he helped his team win a national championship. He went on to run at Auburn University where he became a two-time All American.

In his tune-up race for his marathon debut, he set a 25K world record of 1:11:18 at the Berlin BIG 25K. He followed his debut record by taking down Tokyo s course record in 2013, clocking 2:06:50 (later broken by Dickson Chumba). He recorded his first DNF in London in 2013, but reassured fans his dominance remained intact when he broke the Bank of America Chicago Marathon course record that fall, shaking off his final competitor, Emmanuel Mutai, in the 25th mile to come home at 2:03:45 (breaking Ethiopia s Tsegaye Kebede s course record, 2:04:38, set in 2012). Kimetto collected his second DNF at the 2014 Boston Marathon and then toed the line in Berlin that fail to register the most amazing performance in human history at the 42K distance. Kimetto became the first person to run under two hours and three minutes, crossing the finish in 2:02:57. He subtracted 26 seconds from Wilson Kipsang s previous mark. He ran half splits of 1:01:45 and 1:01:12 (the fastest second half in history on a record eligible course). Kimetto once described as a boom or bust runner by Letsrun.com - has struggled to reach the podium since his world record performance. He finished third at the 2015 London Marathon, and then failed to finish his next two marathons the IAAF World Championships and Fukuoka. After some injury hiccups, he was a non-factor this past spring in London, and he was left off of the Kenyan Olympic marathon team. Personal Kimetto is a latecomer to the sport of professional running. Unlike many Kenyan runners, he did not begin his journey as a junior competitor. He started running in 2008, but he did not make his international debut until 2011, at age 27. Prior to his global debut, he worked as a farmer.

Originally invited to pace the men s elite field, he flew by the 30K mark (his stopping point) and decided to keep going. "My body felt good at 30km, he later told reporters. It was quite a challenging race... but I was properly hydrated and I knew I was capable of finishing the race." Kipketer s decision to finish the race resulted in his first marathon victory, a new course record, 2:08:35, and a $56,000 payday. Kipketer started his career as a junior competitor, finishing eighth at the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. After running four half marathons in 2012, with a personal best of 59:53, he made his marathon debut at the Amsterdam Marathon, finishing seventh in his still-standing personal best, 2:08:14. Personal Kipketer is the brother of elite female runner, Valentine Kipketer, who is also competing in this year s Bank of America Chicago Marathon elite athlete field.

Kirui took home a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games in the marathon, and he stood on top of the podium at the 2009 and 2011 IAAF World Marathon Championships. In addition to his major championship wins, he won the 2008 Vienna Marathon, and he finished as the runner-up at the 2007 Berlin Marathon. Kirui set his PR, 2:05:04, at the 2009 Rotterdam Marathon. Kirui has run all of the AWMM, with the exception of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. A lack of pacemakers should give him an edge and make him a contender for a top finish in his Chicago Marathon debut. Personal Kirui founded the Great Joy Educational Centre in Eldoret, Kenya. The Great Joy Educational Centre is a boarding school that helps children in poverty to receive a primary school education.

He picked up two silver medals (2007, 2009) and a bronze medal (2008) in the 5000m at the IAAF World Athletics finals. He is the sixth fastest man in history over the 10,000m, putting him in the company of running legends like Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele and Paul Tergat. He took home a bronze medal in the 10,000m in his Olympic Games debut in Beijing, and he followed that performance by breaking Gebreselassie s 10K road world record in 2009 at the Parelloop 10K in the Netherlands, running 27:01 (Kenyan Leonard Komon broke the 10K road world record a year later, but Kogo ranks second all-time). In his marathon debut at the 2013 Boston Marathon, Kogo was among the leading trio until the final straightaway, when he lost in a sprint finish to Ethiopia s Lelisa Desisa. He came to the windy city a few months later, eager to land atop the podium, and finished fourth in his personal best, 2:06:56. In spite of his wins at the Beach to Beacon 10K in 2011 and 2013, a major championship gold medal continues to elude him, and outside of his debut at the Boston Marathon, he has failed to make the top three in his last six marathons. In March, Kogo ran the Paris Marathon, hoping to punch his ticket to Rio. He finished fourth in 2:08:03 and was not selected to the Kenyan team.

He typically races the 15K on Saturday and then turns around and runs the half marathon on Sunday. From , he consistently won either the 15K or the half. Mott missed the Gasparilla Distance classic this year for a good reason: he ran in his first U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Mott was initially disappointed after he set his marathon PR in Houston, 2:18:12, because it was 12 seconds short of the B standard. However, due to a change in the Olympic Games entry standards for the marathon (announced December 11, 2015), the B standard was revised to 2:19:00 and Mott was in.

His 2016 season started with a DNF in Tokyo and he hasn t toed the line since then. Ndungu s second career victory at the Lake Biwa Marathon came on a difficult day that taunted runners with a steady cold rain. Ndungu endured erratic pacing to dust the field by two minutes the largest margin of victory since former world record holder Wilson Kipsang won by three minutes (and set the course record) in Ndungu s ability to thrive in the midst of inconsistent pace changes certainly played a role in his third place finish in Chicago last fall, and it should help him again in this year s race. Ndungu moved to Japan in 2007 as a 19-year-old to run for a Japanese corporate team. He initially made a name for himself as a pacer, even pacing Wilson Kipsang to a course record at the 2010 Lake Biwa Marathon.

With a calm cadence, he passed the half in 1:05:13, and he remained in the lead group until Dickson Chumba threw down a 4:35 20th mile to shake things up. Puskedra kept a consistent, steady pace, enough to run a five-minute PR, 2:10:24, earn a top five finish and turn in the fastest time by an American in Puskedra became just the sixth American over the last two decades to score a top five finish at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Puskedra also finished 2015 as the comeback story of the year: after a highly anticipated, but disappointing debut at the 2014 New York City Marathon (2:28:54), he briefly quit the sport and gained 23 pounds. But he didn t give up. He slowly climbed his way back up. He was a favorite to make the 2016 Olympic marathon team, but he finished one spot off the podium in fourth place his Olympic dream deferred until Puskedra graduated from the University of Oregon in 2012, where he was an 11-time NCAA All- American; he made a seamless transition to the roads even before he finished his collegiate career as a Duck. During his senior year, he turned heads with his half marathon debut in Houston, finishing in fourth place in 1:01:36 (he broke that PR this year) Races 01/17/16 Houston Half Marathon 4th 1:01:29 02/13/16 Los Angeles U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials 4th 2:14:12 Career marathons 02/13/16 Los Angeles U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials 4th 2:14:12 10/11/15 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 5th 2:10:24 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 66 Sunday, October 9, 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 67 Sunday, October 9, 2016

After struggling with injuries as a full-time professional runner with the Hansons-Brooks from 2010 to 2012, Young packed his bags, took some time off and started working full-time as an IT computer technician. He spent 2013 rehabbing and rebuilding and kicked off 2014 with PRs in both the marathon and half marathon. He lined up in Chicago that fall with renewed confidence, and ran another PR, 2:14:40, finishing 14th in a strong field. Young s Chicago performance earned him a spot on the 2015 U.S. Pan American Marathon team, and it made him a legitimate contender for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon team. Young didn t make it to Rio, but he finished 11th at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials on a day that saw 46% of the men s field drop out of the race. Two months after the Trials, Young set a PR in the half marathon, 1:03:44. Young is a three-time winner and course record holder of the Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon in Washington, D.C.

She represented Ethiopia in the 1500m at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, and at the 2009 and 2011 IAAF World Championships; she picked up a silver medal at the 2008 African Championships. Assefa made a smooth transition to the marathon in 2013, debuting in 2:25:17 for a third place finish in Houston. She followed that performance by finishing in the top 10 of every marathon she has run (with the exception of one DNF in 2014), including runner-up finishes in Hong Kong (2015) and Houston (2014). Assefa was part of a strong pack of women in Chicago last fall that ran aggressively on 2:19 pace from the gun.

She has finished in the top four of six Abbott World Marathon Majors, including wins in Chicago in 2010 and 2012 and in Boston this spring. She is also the past champion of the Paris, Istanbul, Xiamen and Saitama marathons. Baysa thrilled Bostonians in April with a dramatic surge over the final miles to take the laurel wreath. She lingered 37 seconds behind the leaders at mile 21, typically an insurmountable gap during the later stages of the marathon. But, as one writer put it, Baysa turned on the jets and chased down the pack, overtaking her final competitor by mile 24. She became a media favorite after the race by presenting Roberta Gibb, the first woman to unofficially run and win the Boston Marathon in 1966, with her championship trophy. Gibb, surprised by the gesture, said I can t possibly keep this. This woman has a beautiful soul. What a big heart she has. Gibb said she plans to travel to Ethiopia to return it in a year. Baysa started her career in 2006 as a 19 year-old with a 2:39:31 debut. She remained a strong performer her first few years of racing, but grew into an overnight sensation after her 2009 Paris win in 2:24:42, and her subsequent Paris win in 2010 in 2:22:04. In 2012, Baysa gained more attention after winning the Bank of America Chicago Marathon by one second in a sprint finish down Columbus Drive.

Burla should be in the mix for a top ten finish in her Bank of America Chicago Marathon debut. Elite athletes While at the University of Missouri, Burla was a three-time NCAA Cross Country Championships qualifier, and an All-American; she placed sixth in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Championships her senior year, despite entering as the 25th seed; she ran a then-school record of 33:52.59 (still the second fastest time in the school s history).

Her goal is to come back from the Olympic Marathon in Rio (she placed 40th in 2:36:14) and break the Danish national record, 2:29:34. She needs to run 34 seconds faster than she did in 2015 to realize that goal. Draskau Petersson has dual Danish and British citizenship, and she represented Denmark at the 2012 London Olympics in the marathon (she finished 40th in 2:31:43). She started her career as an elite duathlete and triathlete, and she eventually found her stride in marathon competitions. She struggled with some significant setbacks early in her career: she was hit five times in three years by cars and motorbikes and one accident in 2007 required knee surgery. She lost four years of competition as a result, and didn t return to the roads until Draskau Petersson made headlines in the U.S. in 2014 when she won the 11th annual P.F.

This is a credence that I firmly believe in, yet have consistently had to re-learn. Gray entered the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in February after enduring an unconventional build-up. She rolled her ankle on a training run and just eight weeks before the Trials, she learned that she actually fractured her fibula. She relied on an AlterG treadmill to maintain her fitness. She ran a 10,000m track PR, followed by a half marathon PR in Houston. She continued training on the AlterG, and as her bone healed, she added some outdoor hard efforts. She lined up for the Trials undertrained with just one 20-mile run to callous her legs, but she felt mentally sharp, confident and prepared. On a day where so many athletes faltered, she shined. She finished 10th in a PR, 2:35:47. Gray started running her junior year in high school after knee surgery unsettled her soccer ambitions. She went on to Chico State where she became a four-time All-American (twice in track and field and twice in cross country). She moved to Boulder, CO to pursue her professional running goals, and she has steadily been a strong performer, notching top 10 finishes at the U.S. Track and Field Championships (10th in the 10,000m, 2015); U.S. Cross Country Championships (8th, 2014); and the U.S. Half Marathon Championships (9th, 2014).

She started 2016 with one of her most impressive career feats to date: she finished 27th at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Two hundred and five women qualified for the Trials and 198 started the race. Heckert used her marathon fitness to win Chicago s Live Grit Lakefront 10, and she posted her best 8K time, 26:35, en route to a second place finish ahead of Olympian Desiree Davila at the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle (defending champion Alexi Pappas was the only runner able to beat a hard charging Heckert). She has proved unbeatable on the local Chicago scene, taking victories at the 10,000m in Naperville in a PR, 33:03; the North Shore Half Marathon in 1:16:50; the Ravenswood Run 5K in a PR, 15:59; and the Elmhurst 4 on the Fourth in a near PR, 21:41. Heckert s best in the half marathon is 1:15:52. The 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon marks her fifth time competing in the Abbott World Marathon Majors event and her first time starting with the elite field. Heckert competed at Murray State University, College of DuPage and University of Illinois at Chicago. She says overtraining and being hard headed contributed to her collegiate struggles. She also came to the sport later. In high school, she focused on basketball and the 300m hurdles and 400m run. She credits her coach (and husband), Michael Lucchesi, with her steady rise from good local athlete to national elite.

With four miles to go, Yebrgual Melese and Kiplagat moved to the front, and then Kiplagat made her final move with less than two miles to go. She was simply too good to get caught, leaping victoriously in the air after she crossed the finish line. Kiplagat returned to London for the fifth time this spring.

After clocking another big PR in the half marathon this past April, she set her sights on Rio. On a less than ideal day that saw warm and humid temperatures, she raced hard at the 2016 Łódź Marathon, hoping to run fast enough to make Poland s Olympic team. She was the first Polish woman across the line, grabbing the national championship, but her time, 2:32:04, was not fast enough to earn her a ticket to Rio. I should be happy winning the national championships, she told reporters after the race, but I am not. My goal was to get the Rio qualification and I didn't.

She exceeded expectations by running under 2:40 and qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.

Charity Program overview Since 2002, Bank of America Chicago Marathon participants have raised more than $150 million through the Charity Program. This feat is accomplished by individual participants who sign on to support an affiliated cause and commit to fundraising as a part of their Chicago Marathon journey. Every organization allows its team of runners the distinct opportunity to make more of their Marathon experience by not only accomplishing a personal goal on race day, but by contributing to a larger goal and giving back to a worthy cause. For the Bank of America Chicago Marathon charities, their mission begins months in advance as they work to ensure runners accomplish their performance and fundraising goals. Each organization dedicates countless hours and resources to recruiting, planning and organizing their charity runner program. The experience begins with training runs for many of the runners along Chicago s lakefront path and suburban locations, and continues with team parties during the training season and pasta parties on race weekend. Charities focus on creating a memorable experience for their runners that lasts well beyond the finish line. In a sport that focuses on individual accomplishments, the Charity Program transforms the Marathon experience into a team endeavor. It is easy to see why so many runners return to their charity teams year after year.

101 Year-by-Year event summary October 11, 2015: Dickson Chumba, 2:09:25; Florence Kiplagat, 2:23:33 The 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon was another year for the record books: Deena Kastor broke the American Master s record and Tatyana McFadden broke her own course record in the professional wheelchair competition. For the first time in more than two decades, pacesetters were not at the helm of the race, and in a strategic competition up front, the men s race saw a Kenyan sweep with Dickson Chumba running away from the field in 2:09:25, Sammy Kitwara finishing as the runner-up for the second time in 2:09:50 and newcomer to the Abbott World Marathon Majors, Sammy Ndungu, sprinting down the homestretch for third in 2:10:06. American Luke Puskedra (Eugene, Ore.) kicked it in for a fifth place finish in 2:10:24, becoming just the sixth American over the last two decades to score a top five finish in Chicago. Florence Kiplagat (KEN), the reigning half marathon world record holder, stayed patient in an aggressive race that saw a strong pack of women bolt from the start on 2:19 pace. Kiplagat finally made her move 40K into the race, breaking the tape first in 2:23:33. Yebrgual Melese (ETH) held on for second in 2:23:43, and Birhane Dibaba (ETH) secured a podium finish in 2:24:24. On the tenth anniversary of her victory in Chicago, Deena Kastor (Mammoth Lake, Calif.) finished in seventh place in 2:27:47, breaking the American Master s Record, 2:28:40, set by Colleen De Reuk at the 2005 Chicago Marathon. Kastor now owns the second (2:21:25), fourth (2:26:53) and seventh fastest times run by an American woman on the Chicago Marathon course. easily defended her title, breaking the tape in 2:24:35. Mare Dibaba held on for second in 2:25:37, and half-marathon world record holder, Kiplagat, secured a podium finish in 2:25:57. The men s wheelchair competition featured an historic finish with the top 11 men finishing within 11 seconds of each other. Josh George edged Kurt Fearnley at the line by one second, 1:32:12 to 1:32:13. In the women s race, Tatyana McFadden handily defended her title, taking home her fourth straight victory, and her fifth in the last six years. In 2013, McFadden became the first male or female athlete to win four World Marathon Majors in one year (she won Boston, London, Chicago and New York). October 13, 2013: Dennis Kimetto, 2:03:45; Rita Jeptoo, 2:19:57 The 2013 Bank of America Chicago Marathon concluded with course records, more than 39,000 finishers, more than $15 million in charitable fundraising and a record $253 million economic impact. Kenyan athletes dominated the men s and women s races with historic performances, leading the way for the event record 39,122 runners who crossed the sun-splashed finish line in Grant Park under ideal weather conditions. Kenya s Dennis Kimetto smashed the men s course record with a 2:03:45 performance, taking 53 seconds off the previous mark set in The men s race was a world record chase from the start with a 29:20 opening 10K. The pack was whittled down to four when Kimetto and fellow Kenyans Emmanuel Mutai, Sammy Kitwara and Micah Kogo split 14:33 from 30K to 35K. Heading up the Roosevelt Road overpass, it was still a two-way battle between Kimetto and Mutai, with Kimetto grinding away for a seven-second advantage over Mutai at the finish line. Both athletes registered personal best performances, becoming the fourth and fifth fastest marathon performers of all-time. It was also the first time in history that two athletes broke 2:04 in the same race (on a record-eligible course). Michigan native Dathan Ritzenhein was the first American finisher, placing fifth in 2:09:45. Chicago Marathon In the women s wheelchair competition, Tatyana McFadden (USA) handily defended her title in a course record time, 1:41:10, taking home her fifth straight victory and her sixth win at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon since her 2009 debut. The men s competition featured another thrilling finish with the top 11 men finishing within 13 seconds of each other. Kurt Fearnely (USA) beat his competitors to the line in 1:30:46, earning his fifth career Chicago Marathon victory. In a photo finish for second place, Marcel Hug (SUI) held off 2014 champion Joshua George (Champaign, Ill.), both clocking 1:30:48. October 12, 2014: Eliud Kipchoge, 2:04:11; Rita Jeptoo, 2:24:35 The 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon witnessed two new records: 40,659 runners crossed the finish line, and more than 10,000 participants raised $17.3 million for charity. The men s race opened with a world record chase as a pack of twelve stormed through the first mile in 4:34. The pace simmered as the wind picked up, but the group remained intact through the half. Two pacers led the charge with a 1:02:11 split. In the later stages of the race, pre-race favorites Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele followed the leaders in what grew into a tactical race. Kipchoge, Sammy Kitwara and Dickson Chumba stayed together until Kipchoge made his final move at mile 25. With his victory clearly sealed, Kipchoge strode down Columbus Drive with a smile, stealing the show in 2:04:11. Kitwara and Chumba dueled for second, with Kitwara out-striding Chumba down the homestretch, 2:04:28 to 2:04:32. American Amy Hastings led the women s race from the gun, hitting the 5K in 17:12 and the 10K in 34:22 with defending champion Rita Jeptoo a few steps behind. Things shifted over the next 5K with Florence Kiplagat and Jeptoo taking over the lead. The pace remained relatively pedestrian until defending champion Rita Jeptoo took the reins and dropped a 16:37 5K between 35K and 40K. Jeptoo In the women s competition, Kenya s Rita Jeptoo cracked the 2:20 barrier with a winning time of 2:19:57, the fastest women s marathon time in the world in The lead pack of eight women traveled through the half in a relatively relaxed 1:11:15, but things started to heat up by 25K, when Kenyans Rita Jeptoo and Jemima Sumgong began to separate themselves from the field, leaving defending champion Atsede Baysa of Ethiopia in their wake. Jeptoo s 15:57 split from 35K to 40K sealed her victory and put her in position to break the 2:20 barrier for the first time in her career. Her 2:19:57 ranks as the fifth fastest performance in Chicago Marathon history and she became the first Kenyan woman to break the finish tape on Columbus Drive since Catherine Ndereba in Clara Santucci, of Dilliner, Pa., was the top American, finishing ninth in 2:31:39. In the elite wheelchair competition, Tatyana McFadden of the United States won her third straight Chicago Marathon in a course record time of 1:42:35, taking down the previous mark set in South Africa s Ernst Van Dyk won a sprint finish in the men s wheelchair race to claim his first Chicago title. October 7, 2012: Tsegaye Kebede, 2:04:38; Atsede Baysa, 2:22:03* The 35th anniversary Bank of America Chicago Marathon proved to be one for the record books. It started with registration selling out in a record six days, and ended with an all-time high 37,475 runners crossing the finish line in Grant Park. The event also established new benchmarks in charitable fundraising ($15.3 million) and economic impact ($243 million). After minor improvements on the course record two out of the last three years, Ethiopia s Tsegaye Kebede took advantage of cool weather (the day s high reached 51 degrees) and a stacked elite field to slash 59 seconds from the course mark, becoming the first to break 2:05 in Chicago with his 2:04:38 performance. He led two others under the previous record; Feyisa Lilesa was second in Bank of America Chicago Marathon 194 Sunday, October 9, 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 195 Sunday, October 9, 2016

102 2:04:52 and Tilahun Regassa third in 2:05:27, making it an Ethiopian sweep of the podium. Kebede also became Chicago s first male champion from Ethiopia. The top American was Oregon s Dathan Ritzenhein in ninth. His 2:07:47 was a personal best by more than two minutes and made him the third fastest American marathoner of all-time. Ethiopia s Atsede Baysa clinched the victory after a sprint finish with Kenya s Rita Jeptoo. In the end, Baysa broke the tape a stride ahead, with both athletes recording personal bests, 2:22:03 and 2:22:04, respectively. The dramatic finish tied for the narrowest margin of victory in the history of the women s competition. Kenya s Lucy Kabuu was third (2:22:41). Running her debut marathon, Renee Baillie of the U.S. was eighth in 2:27:17, registering the fifth fastest U.S. debut of all-time. In the wheelchair division, Tatyana McFadden of the U.S. won her second consecutive title and third in the last four years. In the men s race, Canadian Paralympian Josh Cassidy moved up from fourth the previous year to the top spot on the podium. *As a result of a doping violation, the International Athletics Association Federations (IAAF) announced in 2015 that the results of Liliya Shobukhova have been annulled. The official results of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon reflect this change. October 9, 2011: Moses Mosop, 2:05:37; Ejegayehu Dibaba, 2:22:09* The Bank of America Chicago Marathon reached its registration capacity of 45,000 in record time (31 days), which led to the second-largest field in event history (35,755) crossing the finish line in Grant Park. Runners battled another unseasonably warm October day with temperatures peaking at 80 degrees, albeit with low humidity and light winds. The elite athletes were undaunted by the conditions, as Kenya s Moses Mosop surged to a new men s course record of 2:05:37, breaking Sammy Wanjiru s two-year-old mark. Running just his second marathon, Mosop showed great poise as he withstood a dramatic surge by countryman Wesley Korir between 25 and 30K, before answering with a surge of his own that sprung him to victory. Korir hung on for second in 2:06:15, and Bernard Kipyego third place finish in 2:06:29 made it a Kenyan sweep. America s Ryan Hall placed fifth in 2:08:04, becoming the second fastest American in Chicago history behind a pair of Khalid Khannouchi performances. Liliya Shobukhova of Russia became the first runner to win three straight Chicago titles, and did so with the second fastest time in event history (2:18:20). Shobukhova had company in Ethiopia s Ejegayehu Dibaba (running her debut marathon) and Japan s Kayoko Fukushi for the first half, before powering away to a nearly four-minute margin of victory. Dibaba s runner-up time of 2:22:09 was the world s second-fastest debut, while Fukushi took third in 2:24:38. Australia s Kurt Fearnley won a tight wheelchair race with just six seconds separating the top four finishers. His time of 1:29:18 was five seconds faster than the ageless Heinz Frei of Switzerland, who edged Joshua George of the U.S. for second. In the women s race, Tatyana McFadden boldly pulled away after 10 miles and the gamble paid off, as she was dominant in a nearly two-minute victory over Christine Dawes of Australia. McFadden s time of 1:45:03 was the second-fastest in event history. With 10,000 charity runners representing more than 160 nonprofit organizations, the Chicago Marathon Charity Program netted an event record $13.4 million in fundraising, while the event s overall impact on the city also grew to $219 million. *As a result of a doping violation, the International Athletics Association Federations (IAAF) announced in 2015 that the results of Liliya Shobukhova have been annulled. The official results of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon reflect this change. October 10, 2010: Sammy Wanjiru, 2:06:24; Astede Baysa, 2:23:40* A record number of race finishers (36,088) contributed to a major Bank of America Chicago Marathon milestone more than a half million finishers since the event s founding in Leading the way for the record field of participants were a pair of repeat champions as both Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya and Liliya Shobukhova of Russia defended their titles. In a dazzling rematch of the 2008 Olympic gold and bronze medalists, Wanjiru and Ethiopia s Tsegaye Kebede pushed each other to the limit, with Wanjiru weathering a series of attacks in the final miles before finally prevailing on the incline up Roosevelt Road. Several of the running industry s top commentators remarked that the battle between the two great champions was the finest they had ever witnessed. Shobukhova s victory, on the other hand, was a runaway by more than three minutes over Ethiopia s Astede Baysa, who held a half-minute lead at 30K. But the patient and measured Russian proved too much in the race s final 12K, as she posted a Russian national record of 2:20:25 for the win. Desiree Davila become the fourth fastest American with her fourth place finish in 2:26:20, ranking behind only Deena Kastor, Joan Benoit Samuelson and Kara Goucher on the all-time list. In the men s wheelchair division, a new course record was set by 52-year-old Heinz Frei of Switzerland who blitzed the course in 1:26:56. In the women s wheelchair division, Amanda McGrory of downstate Savoy, IL returned to the winner s circle with a two-second victory over Japan s Wakako Tsuchida. The Chicago Marathon continued its growth in charitable and economic impact with a record 10,000 charity runners and $12 million raised for local, national and global causes. With all the fanfare surrounding Marathon Weekend in Chicago, the city benefitted from $170 million in economic impact. *As a result of a doping violation, the International Athletics Association Federations (IAAF) announced in 2015 that the results of Liliya Shobukhova have been annulled. The official results of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon reflect this change. October 11, 2009: Sammy Wanjiru, 2:05:41; Irina Mikitenko, 2:26:31* The 2009 race set a number of new benchmarks, among them a record number of finishers (33,703), a record number of charity runners (8,500) and dollars raised ($10-plus million), a greater economic impact ($150 million), a record number of spectators (1.7 million), and a new men s course record (2:05:41). In a welcome departure from the past two years, race day temperatures started in the low 30s, and the stage was set for a world record attempt by Olympic Marathon gold medalist Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya. With the help of pacemakers, 22-year-old Wanjiru challenged Haile Gebrselassie s 2:03:59 mark with a blistering first half run in 1:02:01. Fellow Kenyans Vincent Kipruto and Charles Munyeki went along for the ride, but the pace slowed during the second half and the world record was no longer in sight. Wanjiru still managed to carve a second off Khalid Khannouchi s course record and take home an additional $100,000 for his efforts. Morocco s Abderrahim Goumri ran a tactical race for second in 2:06:04, while Kipruto held on for third in 2:06:08. In the women s race, Russia s Liliya Shobukhova won her first major marathon in only her second attempt at the distance. After a tactical first half, Ethiopia s Teyba Erkesso burst to the lead, trimming Chicago Marathon Bank of America Chicago Marathon 196 Sunday, October 9, 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 197 Sunday, October 9, 2016

103 down the lead back to the main contenders. Shobukhova displayed unparalleled speed over the final two miles (run at sub five-minute pace), finishing in 2:25:56, with Germany s Irina Mikitenko second in 2:26:31 and 2008 Chicago champion Lidiya Grigoryeva of Russia third in 2:26:47. Australia s Kurt Fearnley won the men s wheelchair race for the third straight year (1:29:09), and the women s race produced one of the most thrilling finishes in race history, with the top five women all finishing within three seconds. First-time marathoner Tatyana McFadden got the win in 1:50:47. In the debut of the Nike Northside/Southside Challenge, a high school invitational held on the final 2.6 miles of the Marathon course, Lincoln Way Central runner Kyle Counter beat a field of 71 competitors to finish 52 seconds ahead of second place in 13:35. The girl s champion from Luther North, Stephanie Simpson, won in 16:01, 19 seconds ahead of second place. Fifty-seven high school girls competed in the race. *As a result of a doping violation, the International Athletics Association Federations (IAAF) announced in 2015 that the results of Liliya Shobukhova have been annulled. The official results of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon reflect this change. October 12, 2008: Evans Cheruiyot, 2:06:25; Lidiya Grigoryeva, 2:27:17 With Bank of America at the helm as the new title sponsor, and Nike as the new footwear and apparel sponsor, the 2008 race attracted 45,000 participants and closed registration in less than three months. With another year of hot temperatures predicted on race day, almost 33,000 runners started and 31,344 finished witnessed several new changes, including a separate start for the men s and women s elite field (starting five minutes before the Open field), an increase in Aid Stations from 15 to 20, and the firstever handcycle division as the event welcomed the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans. With a star-studded field, the men s elite race went out in a blistering pace, at one point threatening to take down Khalid Khannouchi s course record. But the early pace wilted most of the field by 25K, leaving Kenyans Evans Cheruiyot and David Mandago to battle it out in a two-man race. After another six miles spent running shoulder to shoulder, Cheruiyot, in just his second marathon, pulled away for the victory in 2:06:25, the eighth fastest time in event history. But the real story of the day was the historic heat. Temperatures soared into the high 80s and combined with high humidity, which forced organizers to halt the race for the first time in its history. Approximately three and a half hours after the official start, runners were rerouted to Grant Park and instructed to stop running as the heat was too intense to ensure their safety. As a result, while the race welcomed its largest field to the start line (36,867), only 25,534 were able to officially finish the race. On October 1, only six days before the race, Bank of America completed its acquisition of LaSalle Bank and thereby its future involvement with the historic Marathon. The 30th anniversary closed a storied chapter in the race s history, ending its 14-year run as The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon, a time during which it experienced tremendous growth in many areas including popularity among runners, civic and community support, and international recognition. October 22, 2006: Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot, 2:07:35; Berhane Adere, 2:20:42 Kenya s Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot outsprinted countryman Daniel Njenga to win an exciting race which presented weather challenges of low temperatures, gusty winds and chilling rain. The race saw Cheruiyot, Njenga, fellow Kenyans Jimmy Muindi and Robert Cheboror, and American Abdi Abdirahman separate themselves from the pack near mile 19. With a mile to go, it was just Cheruiyot and Njenga racing for the title. After setting his eyes on the prize following a 2004 runner-up finish and 2005 third-place finish, Njenga challenged Cheruiyot in the final sprint on Columbus Drive but finished in second place once again. On his approach to the finish line, Cheruiyot slipped and fell just before breaking the tape. On official review, the Kenyan s torso had crossed the plane securing his second consecutive win in a World Marathon Major race. After leading the women s race at a blazing world record pace in the first half, returning runner-up Constantina Tomescu-Dita of Romania faltered in the second half. Eithiopia s Berhane Adere and Russia s Galina Bogomolova closed the gap by Mile 22. Adere s long strides against Bogomolova s quicker steps proved stronger as she edged ahead and took the win. Both Adere and Bogomolova set new national records for Ethiopia and Russia, respectively, as did third and fourth place finishers Benita Johnson of Australia and Madia Perez of Mexico. Chicago Marathon The women s race went out much more conservatively, with the lead pack moving at a pedestrian pace nearly 15 minutes off the course record. Shortly after the halfway point, Russians Lidiya Grigoryeva and Alevtina Biktimirova broke away from the pack. They matched each other s strides until mile 21, when Grigoryeva emerged as the clear victor (2:27:17). The wheelchair races witnessed Australian Kurt Fearnley and American Amanda McGrory repeat as champions. October 7, 2007: Patrick Ivuti, 2:11:11; Berhane Adere, 2:33:49 The 30th anniversary race was historic in many regards. Both the men s victory by Kenya s Patrick Ivuti and women s repeat championship by Ethiopia s Berhane Adere undoubtedly rank among the most exciting finishes in event history. After a neck-and-neck sprint down Columbus Drive between Ivuti and Moroccan Jaouad Gharib, Ivuti made a final surge, pushing his chest forward to break the tape only hundredths of a second before his opponent. Moments later, Adere surprised Romanian Adriana Pirtea in the final stretch by strategically positioning herself out of Pirtea s peripheral vision and sprinting wide of the finish tape to steal the title. Thinking she was in the final stretch of certain victory, Pirtea was in the midst of pumping her arms to the crowd when she spotted Adere much too late to match her stride. In the wheelchair race, Australia s Kurt Fearnley set a new course record with his speedy 1:28:06, just one second ahead of 2005 champion Krige Schabort, and Amanda McGrory took the women s title. October 9, 2005: Felix Limo, 2:07:02; Deena Kastor, 2:21:25 The 2005 Chicago Marathon was a world-class racing event as young champion Felix Limo defeated a deep men s field, and U.S. record holder Deena Kastor claimed victory in a thrilling race against returning 2004 champion Constantina Tomescu-Dita. It was a tactical battle from the start as the men s field settled in for a cautious 15:35 split in the first 5K. The lead pack was spread 11 athletes-wide across Ashland Avenue about 7.5 miles from the finish. Defending champion Evans Rutto surged ahead at mile 20, but painful blisters dashed his chances to earn a third consecutive victory. Limo accelerated at 40K to take the lead and sprinted to an impressive victory in 2:07:02. Four more Kenyans Ben Maiyo, Daniel Njenga, Evans Rutto and Patrick Ivuti all finished within 44 seconds of Limo to set a Chicago record for the fastest top five finishers. In the women s race, Kastor snatched the lead from Tomescu-Dita shortly after the first 5K and led the defending champion at sub-2:20 pace through the remaining 23 miles. Tomescu-Dita kept a short leash on Kastor through 25K before the American shifted gears and pushed to a 40-second lead with seven miles remaining. But Tomescu-Dita steadily edged her way back into the race before ultimately running out of real estate, as Kastor hung tough for a five second victory over the Romanian recordholder. The win was Kastor s first in a big-city marathon, and the third fastest time ever run by an Bank of America Chicago Marathon 198 Sunday, October 9, 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 199 Sunday, October 9, 2016

104 American. Tomescu-Dita improved her personal best by one minute and 20 seconds, and reset her national record by the same margin. October 10, 2004: Evans Rutto, 2:06:16; Constantina Tomescu-Dita, 2:23:45 Awash in bright sunshine, Evans Rutto of Kenya and Constantina Tomescu-Dita of Romania charged to victory in the Chicago Marathon s 27th running. Their world-class runs made the city proud on a day when 33,125 participants from 121 countries crossed the finish line on Columbus Drive. Rutto, who had not come just to defend his 2003 title but to break the world record, got the victory in a stellar 2:06:16, but was left to wonder what could have been if the wind had not kicked up in the final miles. While he had set his sights on Paul Tergat s time of 2:04:55 set in Berlin the previous fall, the wind was the wild card on a day he had been dealt an otherwise perfect hand. Still, Rutto notched the fourth-fastest winning time in Chicago history, and the second fastest marathon in The victory kept the 26-year-old undefeated over the marathon distance. Tomescu-Dita deployed her usual tactic of going out hard and hanging on, which had not yet resulted in victory at a major marathon. But on this day, the Romanian ruled the road. Looking back five times from the corner of Michigan Avenue and Roosevelt Road to the finish on Columbus Drive, she was overcome with emotion as she realized she would win her first major marathon title in a time of 2:23:45, just 10 seconds off her personal best. October 12, 2003: Evans Rutto, 2:05:50; Svetlana Zakharova, 2:23:07 The 2003 Chicago Marathon was up for grabs with four-time champion Khalid Khannouchi out of the field due to injury. Kenyan Evans Rutto picked a good year to take on his first 26.2-miler in Chicago. In a seemingly effortless performance, Rutto not only took home the victory, but he set the debut marathon record in 2:05:50. Rutto s time marked the sixth fastest marathon ever run, only eight seconds behind Khalid Khannouchi s course record. The women s victory went to veteran runner Svetlana Zakharova of Russia. Zakharova trailed behind Constantina Tomescu-Dita until mile 25, where she surged ahead to win in 2:23:07. becoming the first marathoner to record three sub-2:06 performances. October 7, 2001: Ben Kimondiu, 2:08:52; Catherine Ndereba, 2:18:47 The 2001 Chicago Marathon was another historic race a record number of runners, nearly a million spectators, a pacer surprising all by winning and a new women s world record. In 2001, registration reached a record 37,500 participants. Catherine Ndereba ran the race of her life, producing a new women s world record with a stunning time of 2:18:47. After a slow start and an early challenge by friend and fellow Kenyan, Lornah Kiplagat, she ran alone most of the second half. Ndereba put the record well within her sights when she ran miles 23 and 24 in 5:12 and 5:09, respectively. Her performance, the first ever sub-2:19 run by a woman, lowered the mark by 59 seconds, set only a week earlier in Berlin. In one of the most stunning upsets in Chicago Marathon history, Kenya s Ben Kimondiu a pacesetter hired to push a fast pace for the first half decided to stay in the race and won in impressive fashion, out-kicking heavily favored Paul Tergat of Kenya in 2:08:52. It was the first and only time in Chicago s history that a pacer led from start to finish. Rod DeHaven was the fastest American, placing sixth with a personal best 2:11:40. October 22, 2000: Khalid Khannouchi, 2:07:01; Catherine Ndereba, 2:21:33 Khalid Khannouchi, in another magnificence display of marathon running, won his third Chicago Marathon in 2:07:01. Khannouchi set the American record after being disappointed at not being able to represent the U.S. in the Sydney Olympics earlier in the year. In nearly ideal conditions, Khannouchi beat a strong field including Moses Tanui and three other Kenyans: Fred Kiprop, Josephat Kiprono and Peter Githuka. Kenyans finished in the next five places, Kiprono taking runner-up honors 28 seconds behind Khannouchi. Then it was Tanui, Githuka, Kiprop and William Kiplagat. It was also a good day for the American men as eight placed in the top 20, with notable performances by Eric Mack (2:12:42 in his debut) and Josh Cox (2:13:55). Chicago Marathon October 13, 2002: Khalid Khannouchi, 2:05:56; Paula Radcliffe, 2:17:18 The 25th anniversary of the Chicago Marathon was simply unforgettable a beautiful day with a record number of finishers, nearly a million spectators, a new women s world record and the crowning of Chicago s first four-time male winner. Great Britain s Paula Radcliffe capped off her phenomenal year by shattering the world record with a stunning 2:17:18 performance. Against a topnotch field, including defending champion and former world record holder Catherine Ndereba of Kenya, Radcliffe took control of the race for good after the halfway mark when she clocked mile splits of 5:08, 5:11 and 5:06 from miles 17 thorough 19. She ran alone and stayed strong during the final stretch up Lake Shore Drive to improve the world record by an amazing 89 seconds, which Ndereba set a year earlier. After a one-year absence, Khalid Khannouchi returned to win his fourth Chicago title. Competing in the most impressive elite field in the event s 25-year history, Khannouchi went head-to-head with Paul Tergat, defending champion Ben Kimondiu, and two-time London champion Abdelkhader El Mouaziz. But it was Toshinari Takaoka who would provide Khannouchi with his biggest challenge as the Japanese 10,000-meter champion broke away from the pack at mile 19 to take a 21-second lead at mile 23. In response, Khannouchi kicked it Into higher gear, catching Takaoka by mile 25 near McCormick Place. After taking the lead, Khannouchi kept his furious pace over the last mile and a half to win in 2:05:56, Catherine Ndereba joined Ingrid Kristiansen (1986) as the only women to win Boston and Chicago in the same year. Ndereba s winning time (2:21:33) was the fastest run in Ndereba shadowed Kenyan compatriot Lornah Kiplagat after closing down an early gap of 15 seconds, finally taking the lead in the 23rd mile. Kiplagat hung on for a personal best 2:22:36. Americans Libbie Hickman, Christine Junkermann and Kristy Johnston ran together for much of the race before Hickman prevailed as the first American in 2:32:09. A record 27,956 finishers made this race the fourth-largest marathon in history. October 24, 1999: Khalid Khannouchi, 2:05:42; Joyce Chepchumba, 2:25:59 Hollywood couldn t have scripted it better: a world record for the men, a photo finish for the women and a monster field. Chicago had it all on this chilly (mid 30s at the start) yet sunny October morning. Kenya s Moses Tanui had a 33-second lead on the pack at Mile 21 when Khalid Khannouchi of Morocco took over the second position. From that point on, it was a two-man race with Khannouchi effectively gaining on the leader. At 40K, as Tanui grabbed his bottle from the elite fluid table, Khannouchi flew by. From that point on, he was chasing only the record book. The men s leaders had already been on world record pace most of the race, but Khannouchi switched into another gear, finishing in an incredible 2:05:42, breaking Ronaldo da Costa s world record by 23 seconds, and becoming the first man to run under 2:06. Tanui finished in 2:06:16, still good for the third fastest marathon ever run.

105 Khannouchi collected $65,000 for the win, a $100,000 world record bonus and a new Volkswagen Beetle. American David Morris, an Alaskan native who had been training and racing in Japan, put forth an impressive run of 2:09:32. He finished fourth behind defending champ Ondoro Osoro of Kenya (2:08:00). Defending champion Joyce Chepchumba of Kenya headlined the women s race. Stunned when she tripped near mile 10 (skinning her left knee, hip and both elbows), she regained her composure and slowly reeled the lead pack back in. In the last several miles the race boiled down to her and fellow Kenyan Margaret Okayo. They arrived at the final stretch on Columbus Drive side by side, with Chepchumba s track speed making the difference as she won by less than one step (2:25:59 to 2:26:00), earning $80,000 plus a $15,000 time bonus. In all, $715,200 of prize money was awarded the largest payout in event history. In all, 29,256 runners registered, with 25,145 starters and 24,654 finishers. Participants representing all 50 states, plus 2,241 international runners from a record 80 countries, were cheered on by an estimated 820,000 spectators. October 11, 1998: Ondoro Osoro, 2:06:54; Joyce Chepchumba, 2:23:57 Records were the order of the day once again at the 21st Chicago Marathon with new high marks set for runners (20,063 registrants) and spectators (700,000) under beautiful weather conditions (50s and calm). For only the first time in marathon history, four men with personal bests under 2:08:00 were at the start line: defending champ Khalid Khannouchi of Morocco, Kenyans Moses Tanui and Elijah Lagat, and South Africa s Gert Thys. Experience proved fruitless as a marathon rookie stunned the field. Newcomer Ondoro Osoro of Kenya emerged victorious from the pack, running one of the fastest marathons in history. Khannouchi had a comfortable lead after a surge at mile 21, but ligament damage in his left foot (suffered just two weeks earlier), compounded by a cramping calf, spelled his doom as Osoro surged past him with less than a mile to go. Khannouchi held on for second (2:07:19), with Thys (2:07:45) and Homewood, IL-based Kenyan Joseph Kahugu (2:07:59) close behind. Osoro set course, world debut, North American and Kenyan national records with the then third-fastest performance of all-time. He earned $105,000 ($55,000 for first and a $50,000 time bonus). In the women s race, South Africans Colleen De Reuck and Elana Meyer pushed the pace early with Joan Benoit Samuelson s course record of 2:21:21 in sight. The quick pace proved too much, however, as patient Kenyan Joyce Chepchumba stormed past Meyer at mile 19, then De Reuck at mile 22 to win in an impressive 2:23:57, the year s fourth fastest women s time and 15th fastest ever. Chepchumba pocketed $85,000 ($55,000 for the win and a $30,000 time bonus). Defending champ Marian Sutton of Great Britain never found her groove, finishing 10th in 2:35:41. Race organizers debuted the ChampionChip timing system to ensure exact timing for every runner at the start, half marathon and finish. The 17,731 starters (now an exact count thanks to the Chip) and 17,204 finishers (a 97 percent completion rate), including 40 wheelchair finishers, were all new Chicago records. October 19, 1997: Khalid Khannouchi, 2:07:10; Marian Sutton, 2:29:03 The 20th anniversary LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon was truly a record-breaking event. Perfect weather conditions and an unprecedented 650,000 spectators welcomed a record 16,372 registrants, 14,322 of whom finished the race. In addition, the 1997 race showed a new diversity, with all 50 states and 47 countries represented. The event awarded $300,000 in prize money and an additional $197,000 in time bonuses. Khalid Khannouchi, a Moroccan based in Brooklyn, NY, arrived in Chicago for his marathon debut. Not only did his 2:07:10 give him the victory, but he also set course, debut and North American records while running the fourth-fastest marathon time ever. Khannouchi took home the $50,000 first prize, plus an additional $50,000 bonus for his sub-2:07:30 performance. The American men fared well as Jerry Lawson of Jacksonville, FL, placed seventh in 2:09:35, just outside of the American record. Also, Todd Williams of Knoxville, TN, placed 10th in 2:11:17, the second best American debut time ever. In all, five men cracked 2:09 and eight finished under 2:10. Great Britain s Marian Sutton won back-to-back Chicago titles. After battling a messy nosebleed beginning at mile 20, Sutton persevered with a personal best 2:29:03. She received $50,000 plus a $4,000 bonus for her sub-2:30. In the wheelchair competition, Saul Mendoza of Snellville, GA, and Candace Cable of Truckee, CA, won with times of 1:37:42 and 1:57:32, respectively. This year s event also took a big step in expanding its international field, with 1,074 foreign athletes competing, a 202 percent increase over October 20, 1996: Paul Evans, 2:08:52; Marian Sutton, 2:30:41 Almost 11,000 runners enjoyed ideal weather conditions for the 19th running of the Chicago Marathon. With a 4:54 minute per mile pace, Englishman Paul Evans won the men s competition in 2:08:52, the eighth fastest time in the world for Sutton, also of Great Britain, won the women s race in 2:30:41 after trailing American Kristy Johnston for the first 25 miles. Evans and Sutton were both awarded $40,000 for their victories. Johnston (2:31:06) and fellow American Jerry Lawson (2:10:04) both finished second. Jacob Heilveil won the men s wheelchair competition in 1:39:57 while Ann Walters won the women s race for the sixth year in a row in 1:52:13. After struggling to find solid financial footing throughout the early 1990s, a long-term agreement with the LaSalle Bank ensured financial backing and stability for the race. With such corporate support, the Chicago Marathon finally had the foundation to be a world-class event for years to come. Furthermore, the Marathon and the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA), formed in 1978 partly as a protest movement, had long since settled their differences. By 1996, CARA was running its highly successful Chicago Marathon training program, with nearly 700 participants at four different locations throughout the Chicago area. October 15, 1995: Eamonn Martin, 2:11:18; Ritva Lemettinen, 2:28:27 A brisk morning and gusty winds greeted the 10,802 participants in the 18th running of the Chicago Marathon. The winds quickly died down, but the men s competition remained a strategic one. Running side by side for much of the race, Eamonn Martin of Great Britain bolted past Carlos Bautista of Mexico in the last 200 meters to claim victory by just three seconds. The women s race was not nearly as tight women s winner Ritva Lemettinen of Finland returned to Chicago and took the lead in the first two miles of the race. With only 35 men finishing before her, Lemettinen claimed her second Chicago title in 2:28:27, beating her personal best by 51 seconds. Martin and Lemettinen pocketed $35,000 of the $250,000 total purse for their victories. Other finishers included 75-year-old Warren Utes of Park Forest, IL, who set his seventh national age group record with his time of 3:18:07. In the wheelchair competition, James Briggs of Champaign, IL, beat Scot Hollonbeck, also of Champaign, by one second, claiming victory in 1:37:12. Ann Walters, another Champaign resident, kept her streak alive in the women s competition with a victory in 1:57:27. October 30, 1994: Luiz Antonio Dos Santos, 2:11:16; Kristy Johnston, 2:31:34 A new title sponsor and the accompanying financial boost from LaSalle Bank put a freshly christened Chicago Marathon Bank of America Chicago Marathon 202 Sunday, October 9, 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 203 Sunday, October 9, 2016

106 LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon back among the world s top races, a position not seen since Over 10,000 runners competed in cool and cloudy weather to make the 17th Chicago Marathon a spectacular event. Luiz Antonio Dos Santos of Brazil successfully defended his title with a time of 2:11:16. Kristy Johnston, a native of Coos Bay, OR, out-battled the women s competition to finish in 2:31:34. After claiming victory, she collapsed into race director Carey Pinkowski s arms at the finish line. Both Dos Santos and Johnston took home $30,000 out of the $200,000 total purse for their victories. in race history. Meanwhile, in her first U.S. marathon appearance, Portugal s Aurora Cunha took the women s title with a personal best time of 2:30:11. Pitayo and Cunha claimed $30,000 each out of the $250,000 total purse for their victories. The winners were not the only stars of the day. Local resident Ann Clark enjoyed celebrity status as spectators applauded her finish and asked her to pose with them in pictures. The 81-year-old from Carol Stream, IL, who didn t take up running until age 64, finished in 5:46. October 31, 1993: Luiz Antonio Dos Santos, 2:13:14; Ritva Lemettinen, 2:33:18 Snowfall, 34-degree temperatures and 12-degree wind chills greeted the 6,941 Chicago Marathon runners on Halloween (the latest race date in Chicago s history). Battling whipping wind and snow along the lakeshore, some dropped out with hypothermia. With prize money at $20,000 for the first men s and women s finishers, Luiz Antonio Dos Santos of Brazil and Ritva Lemettinen of Finland trudged through the wintry conditions to claim victory with the fastest winning times since Dos Santos became the third straight Brazilian man to win while Lemettinen was briefly disqualified with charges of running behind two male pacers who blocked the wind from her path, a violation of USA Track & Field Rule 66. The decision was later overturned due to unclear wording of Rule 66, and her victory was restored. Ann Walters won the women s wheelchair competition, continuing the streak she started in This year marked her easiest victory in 1:57:34; she was the only female competitor. October 25, 1992: Jose Cesar De Souza, 2:16:14; Linda Somers, 2:37:41 Under perfect running conditions, 8,214 runners competed in the 1992 Chicago Marathon. With a lack of depth of world-class runners, Chicago s 15th edition was difficult to predict. Jose Cesar DeSouza, with his unmatchable 5:11 per mile pace, won the men s competition to become the second consecutive champion from Brazil. Linda Somers of Pleasant Hill, CA, set a personal best, winning the women s race by a two-minute margin. She would later represent the U.S. in the marathon at the 1996 Olympic Games. However, both winning times were the slowest since DeSouza and Somers each walked away with $7,500 for their victories. In the wheelchair competition, Ann Walters, uncontested, set a new course record of 1:44:29, a record that still stands today. October 27, 1991: Joseildo Rocha, 2:14:33; Midde Hamrin-Senorski, 2:36:2 The 14th Chicago Marathon did not start on a positive note. The loss of another title sponsor drastically reduced the prize money for winners to $7,500, compared to $30,000 the previous year. Around 7,500 started the race, but only 5,908 crossed the finish line. Thus, even with ideal racing conditions, Joseildo Rocha of Brazil and Midde Hamrin-Senorski of Sweden finished with the slowest winning times since 1981 for both men and women. Ann Walters won the women s wheelchair competition in 1:53:33, a streak she would continue for the next six years through No other athlete has won six consecutive Chicago Marathon titles. October 28, 1990: Martin Pitayo, 2:09:41; Aurora Cunha, 2:30:11 As a result of the hard work of new race director Carey Pinkowski, the 1990 race was a big success. Pinkowski was the youngest director of any major U.S. marathon. More important than his effective management, however, was that Pinkowski brought the Chicago Marathon together with the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA). As a result, he was able to get local runners and running clubs more involved than ever before in the race, especially as volunteers. On race day, the finish could not have been more exciting. Mexico s Martin Pitayo and Poland s Antoni Niemczak ran the final 10 miles of the race side by side. At the last possible moment, Pitayo surged ahead to beat Niemczak by less than a step; the 0.3 second margin of victory was the narrowest October 29, 1989: Paul Davis-Hale, 2:11:25; Lisa Weidenbach, 2:28:15 Along with the other 8,529 runners who started the race, and in stark contrast to the previous year, Paul Davis-Hale of Great Britain and America s Lisa Weidenbach battled unseasonably warm temperatures, 64 percent humidity and windy conditions that accompanied the 12th Chicago Marathon. Davis- Hale won the race in 2:11:25. Weidenbach, while breaking her personal best time, became Chicago s second repeat women s champion. Both winners walked away with $50,000 in prize money. The oldest competitor in the race was 84-year-old Ida Mintz, who finished in 6:07. In the wheelchair competition, America s Scot Hollonbeck won for the men in 1:45:30, and Ann Cody-Morris won for the women in 1:58:51. October 30, 1988: Alejandro Cruz, 2:08:57; Lisa Weidenbach, 2:29:17 With 8,700 registered runners, the Chicago Marathon was back in 1998 after a one-year demotion as a half marathon, and with a new title sponsor in Old Style. Runners were greeted with unseasonably cold temperatures in the 30s. The chilly conditions could not stop Alejandro Cruz of Mexico and Lisa Weidenbach of the U.S. from claiming victory over the 5,795 finishers. Cruz broke his country s record with a personal best of 2:08:57. Weidenbach, of Seattle, WA, became just the fifth American woman to run a sub-2:30 marathon with her personal best 2:29:17. The champions took home a then record $50,000 each out of the $350,000 total purse for their victories. October 25, 1987: Steve Jones, 1:04:20; Kim Ballentine, 1:18:20 (half-marathon) Due to a loss in sponsorship, the Chicago Marathon was not held in However, a half-marathon was organized to provide Chicago s runners with a low-budget alternative. Taster s Choice was the sponsor of the event called the Columbian Select Half-Marathon. Steve Jones, by now a hero in Chicago, returned to claim victory in 1:04:20. Kim Ballentine of Brentwood, MO, won the women s division in 1:18:20. October 26, 1986: Toshihiko Seko, 2:08:27; Ingrid Kristiansen, 2:27:08 The 10th anniversary Chicago Marathon delivered great racing weather. Despite the 90 percent humidity, temperatures remained in the upper 50s, providing comfortable conditions for the 12,000 runners who started the race. Japan s Toshihiko Seko took the lead after 22 miles and went on to win in 2:08:27. Norway s Ingrid Kristiansen dominated the women s competition by more than two minutes. Both winners received $40,000 for their victories. However, the rest of the 8,173 runners who finished did not go home empty-handed. Due to high popularity the previous year, race officials doubled the number of massage tables and therapists, giving more than 500 racers special treatment for their tired muscles. October 20, 1985: Steve Jones, 2:07:13; Joan Benoit Samuelson, 2:21:21 The 1985 race turned out the largest number of runners Chicago had seen to date, and the fastest. Nearly 10,000 competed as Great Britain s Steve Jones and America s Joan Benoit Samuelson claimed victory. Jones goal was to set another world record, as he had done the previous year, but he missed Carlos Lopes of Portugal s mark by just one second. His victory earned him $35,000 for winning, $10,000 for setting the new course record and $13,000 in time bonuses for running under 2:08.

107 The women s competition featured one of the top fields ever assembled, with the then second-, fourthand fifth-fastest times in the world being set. Ingrid Kristiansen of Norway, the world record-holder; Joan Benoit Samuelson, the 1984 Olympic Marathon gold medalist; and Rosa Mota of Portugal, the Olympic Marathon bronze medalist and Chicago s defending champion, battled for victory. Not only did Benoit Samuelson win (missing Kristiansen s world record by just 15 seconds), but she established new American and course records. October 21, 1984: Steve Jones, 2:08:05; Rosa Mota, 2:26:01 Despite cold temperatures and a steady downpour of rain, nearly 8,000 runners started the race, including 70 world-class athletes; both totals were event records. Great Britain s Steve Jones delivered Chicago s first-ever world record, establishing the event s reputation on the international stage. According to Jones, I had no idea what kind of pace I was running and no idea how fast they were running. I got to 24 and a half and 25 and the press truck left to go to the finish line. A writer from London shouted that if I kept it under five-minute pace, I had a chance for the record. I was confused and thought he meant a course record! While defending her title, Portugal s Rosa Mota also broke the women s course record she set the previous year. For their wins, Jones and Mota took home $35,000 each out of the $250,000 purse. This year s race also marked the first official wheelchair competition, with five men and one woman competing. Robert Fitch from East Lansing, MI took the men s title in 2:35:06 while Jonnie Baylark from Bellwood, IL won the women s race in 3:29:10. October 16, 1983: Joseph Nzau, 2:09:44; Rosa Mota, 2:31:12 Almost 7,000 runners came out for what would be the most competitive race Chicago had ever seen. Mere feet from the finish, Joseph Nzau of Kenya surged ahead and out-leaned Hugh Jones of Great Britain to win the race by half a second (2:09:44.3 to 2:09:44.8). Nzau would be the first of many Kenyan victors in Chicago, although East African dominance would not take hold of the sport for another decade and a half. In the women s competition, Rosa Mota of Portugal took over the lead with one mile left, beating Anne Audain of New Zealand and setting a new course record. Although the race was called America s Marathon, $113,000 out of the $135,000 prize purse went to 15 men and women from 11 foreign countries. A record 250,000 Chicagoans cheered on the participants, helping 5,237 mostly local runners make it to the finish. September 26, 1982: Greg Meyer, 2:10:59; Nancy Conz, 2:33:23 The sixth annual Chicago Marathon was an international affair, with over 30 world-class runners from eight different nations competing among the 6,014 racers, 4,642 of whom finished. But it was Americans Greg Meyer and Nancy Conz, both from Massachusetts, who won the day, both establishing new course records (by three and 12 minutes, respectively). Not only did they take home the thrill of victory, but also the event s first prize money checks ($12,000 for each out of a $77,000 purse). September 27, 1981: Phil Coppess, 2:16:13; Tina Gandy, 2:49:39 While most runners were sleeping, two participants began the 1981 Chicago Marathon at 2 a.m. on Sunday in order to finish the entire 26.2-mile course by the 3:30 p.m. deadline walking. At the regular start time, another 5,400 joined them, ages seven to 78 years old, including 12 corporate teams, two wheelchair entrants and one blind runner. With 1,800 volunteers helping out along the way and 25,000 spectators, Iowa s Phil Coppess, running his third marathon, and Tina Gandy of Minnesota raced against 25 mile per hour winds on their way to victory. September 28, 1980: Frank Richardson, 2:14:04; Sue Peterson, 2:45:03 With temperatures in the low 60s, more than 4,600 runners turned out for a race in ideal conditions. Frank Richardson, a newlywed of just 49 days from Iowa, and Sue Peterson, a Californian who crossed the finish line alongside her husband Pete, claimed victories with the fastest winning times Chicago had seen to date. Ida Mintz, 74, finished the race with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson in 4:45, claiming the title of the world s oldest female marathoner. Jane Schiff was the Chicago Marathon s first unofficial wheelchair winner with a time of 3:02:38. Proceeds of the 1980 race went to the Chicago Boys Club. October 21, 1979: Dan Cloeter, 2:23:20; Laura Michalek, 3:15:45 After miserable running weather the previous year, race organizers attempted to avoid similar conditions by pushing the race date back to October. Despite these efforts, temperatures were once again against runners favor as 3,700 race starters battled the 77 degree heat, 81 percent humidity and 20 mile per hour wind gusts along the lakefront. Due to the challenging conditions, only 2,869 runners finished the race. Dan Cloeter, the 1977 winner, returned to claim the men s victory. Shortly after winning, he collapsed with severe dehydration. Nancy Reid and Donna Simmons illegally dropped in to place first and second for the women, but were disqualified when it was proven that they did not run the entire race. This gave the victory to 15-year-old Laura Michalek of Berwyn, IL, the youngest winner in Chicago Marathon history. Also for the record book, both the men s and women s times are still Chicago s slowest winning times. Beatrice Foods sponsored the race for the first time, providing their Tropicana orange juice and Dannon yogurt to exhausted runners at the finish line. September 24, 1978: Mark Stanforth, 2:19:20; Lynae Larson, 2:59:25 Organizing the second Chicago Marathon was not an easy task. Controversy surrounding the start time and entry fee developed, leaving founders divided. On one side were those who wanted a $10 entry fee and a noon kick-off. The later start time would draw more spectators and publicity, while also allowing out-of-town participants more travel time. On the other side were those who felt $10 was too expensive and that a noon start time could be detrimental to the runners, especially the slower participants who would be running in the heat of the afternoon. They also felt that organizers were putting the interest of the media before that of the runners. While the $10 entry fee remained, a compromise of a 10:30 a.m. start time was finally reached. (In November 1977, Dr. Noel Nequin, along with Erma Trantor, Sharon Mier and other protesters, ended their involvement and formed the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) to manage races for runners protection.) On race day, thousands of participants wore black armbands in protest of the later start time. The Chicago Marathon quickly became a dual competition the race against time and the battle against the heat. With lakefront temperatures reaching 85 degrees, nearly 300 runners were treated for blisters or heat exhaustion, while 10 more were taken to local hospitals for heat-related issues and dehydration. But the warm temperatures couldn t stop Arizona s Mark Stanforth or South Dakota s Lynae Larson. Both conquered the heat to claim victory over the other 5,200 starters, 4,053 of whom finished the race. Despite the heat, the event ran smoothly. For the first time in U.S. history a dual start was used, the two points a block apart, which helped spread the runners out. Plenty of water was available to help quench thirst, and most agreed that the second Chicago Marathon was a success. September 25, 1977: Dan Cloeter, 2:17:52; Dorothy Doolittle, 2:50:47 More than 4,200 runners turned out for the first Mayor Daley Marathon, making it the largest marathon in the world at the time (in terms of registered runners). Dan Cloeter of Indiana and Dorothy Doolittle of Texas battled the crowds to become Chicago s first winners in a race that 2,128 actually finished. Other competitors included Wesley Paul, an eight-year-old who finished in 3:15:20, setting a Chicago Marathon Bank of America Chicago Marathon 206 Sunday, October 9, 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 207 Sunday, October 9, 2016

108 world record in his age group. Jack Donahue was the final person across the finish line at 7:09:42. The only glitch of the race occurred when the ceremonial starter s cannon misfired into the crowd, injuring two spectators. Ironically, the two burned were the wife and daughter of Wayne Goeldner, an original race founder. Despite the accident, the event ran very smoothly and, as advertised, was an event for the whole city to enjoy. The Founding In November 1976 at the Metropolitan YMCA on LaSalle Street, five key founders of what would eventually become the Bank of America Chicago Marathon met to begin discussions and planning. Those present included Wayne Goeldner, physical education director of the Hyde Park YMCA; Wendell Wendy Miller, a partner in a financial advising firm and founder of Midwest Masters Running Club; Bill Robinson, executive director of Friends of Parks; Sharon Mier, director of women s sports at the Loop Center YMCA; and Dr. Noel Nequin, director of cardiac rehabilitation at the Swedish Covenant Hospital. At this meeting, the group decided it was time for a marathon in Chicago. Talks of a marathon continued, but little was actually done to stage the race. The turning point came in May 1977 when Dr. Nequin organized the first mega race in Chicago the Ravenswood Bank Lakefront 10-Mile Run. The race was a great success, with more than 1,000 runners participating, up from an expected Michael Bilandic, Chicago s new Mayor and an avid runner, was invited to the event. Not only did he show up to lend his support, but he and his wife, Heather, also handed out the awards to the winners. The Mayor s strong support and overwhelming runner participation gave the marathon s founders, who weren t quite sure if a marathon could succeed in Chicago, the inspiration they needed to make the city s first 26.2-mile road race a reality. Chicago Marathon Suddenly 1977 was becoming a landmark year for running in Chicago. Several other shorter races were organized for the first time in addition to the Chicago Marathon, including the Chicago Distance Classic with almost 5,000 runners, an unheard number of participants at the time. But running fever did not stop with the new races. After seeing the success of the Lakefront 10, Mayor Bilandic decided to make Chicago the running capital of the world. To further show his support, Bilandic turned five miles of an old equestrian path along the lakefront into jogging paths, creating a scenic course for runners that today stretches 18 miles and serves as the hub of the Chicago running community. Thus, with all of the new events and opportunities, the sport of running in Chicago was enjoying a groundswell of excitement and participation.by July 1977, Wendy Miller approached his friend and fellow Chicago businessman Lee Flaherty to rally support. Miller convinced Flaherty, a running enthusiast himself, to have his company, Flair Communications, be the official sponsor of the Chicago Marathon. Dr. Nequin and Flaherty then had a lunch meeting at the Drake Hotel with William Daley, son of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, about naming the event. Following the meeting, the Daley family gave its blessing to name the race the Mayor Daley Marathon. Initially set-up with a $5 entry fee and an 8 a.m. start time, the race was scheduled for September 25, 1977, and specific jobs were distributed amongst the founders. Dr. Nequin was the medical director; Miller was the race director; Goeldner was in charge of registration; Mier was responsible for organizing 700 volunteers to marshal and officiate the race; and Robinson was treasurer. In addition, Erma Trantor, a friend of Mier s, was hired to be the race coordinator; Ruth Ratny, a business friend of Flaherty s, was the publicist. The first ever Mayor Daley Marathon was soon to be a great success. Ads declared it the people s race anyone can come and enjoy, and that was the approach organizers took. Then, on September 25, the hard work of many dedicated people who established the race as something for the entire city, paid off.

During each scoring period, points from a maximum of two Qualifying Races will be scored. An athlete must start in two Qualifying Races over the Series cycle to be eligible for the championship. If an athlete earns points in more than two events, the athlete s highest two finishes will be scored. Points are allocated following each race as follows: Place Points 1st 25 2nd 16 3rd 9 4th 4 5th 1 Tiebreaker In the event of a tie in points earned at the conclusion of a Series cycle, the winner shall be determined using the following rules (addressed in descending order). 1. The athlete with the best head-to-head record in Qualifying Races during the Series period will be declared the winner. Only the fact that one athlete finished ahead of the other will be taken into account and not by how many places. For purposes of clarity, it shall not matter whether or not the athletes scored points towards their Series total when considering head-to-head competition. 2. The athlete who has won the most Qualifying Races during the period. 3. The athlete whom the majority of the Race Directors of the six Abbott World Marathon Majors determines to be the champion. In such circumstances, the Race Directors may decide to award the title jointly. Doping violations Under AWMM rules, no athlete who has been found guilty of any anti-doping rules enforced by the IAAF, World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), National Federations, or any of the individual AWMM races is eligible to win the AWMM championship title. Athletes must comply with the AWMM Code of Conduct. Prize purse AbbottWMM will award a $1 million prize to be split equally by the top men s and women s runner champions, and $100,000 to be split equally by the top men s and women s wheelchair champions.

136 About the Tokyo Marathon Organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation, the inaugural Tokyo Marathon was held on February 18, 2007, and drew 95,044 applicants and 30,870 participants. Kenya s Daniel Njenga (2:09:45) and Japan s Hitomi Niiya (2:31:01) were the first champions. Since then, the Tokyo Marathon has grown to over 300,000 applicants and nearly 36,000 participants. Through its theme, The Day We Unite., the Tokyo Marathon brings together runners, volunteers and spectators. In 2011, the Tokyo Marathon implemented its own charity program, Run with Heart, through which donors can contribute to various charitable activities. In 2016, the number of charity runner entrants has reached its capacity of 3,000 for the first time and more than $3 million was raised. From its 10th anniversary event, Tokyo Marathon 2016, the official race logo has been renewed to present the portrayed images of the runners, volunteers and cheering crowds along the course, which symbolizes the race theme The Day We Unite. In addition, Tokyo Marathon 2017, which will be held on February 26, 2017, will have a new course that finishes in front of the Tokyo station area for the first time. As Tokyo was chosen to host the 2020 Olympic Games, the Tokyo Marathon is also gaining more attention and popularity from home and abroad.

Later that year, Brasher travelled to America, where the running boom of the late 1970s had started. He witnessed the Boston Marathon and revisited the New York City race. He studied both races organizations and finances. On his return, Brasher and Disley secured a three-year contract with Gillette for 75,000, established the organization s charitable status, and set down six main aims for the event. The first London Marathon was held on March 29, More than 20,000 people wanted to run; 7,747 were accepted. There were 6,255 finishers, led home by American Dick Beardsley and Norwegian Inge Simonsen. Joyce Smith broke the British record to win the women s race. The 1982 race received more than 90,000 applicants from around the world. The entry was limited to 18,059. Since then, the London Marathon has grown to more than 39,000 starters and finishers, and elite runners compete for $313,000 in prize money. Both the men s and women s pro runner world records have been set in the race, including the current women s mark of 2:15:25, set by Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain in The race is viewed in more than 196 countries worldwide and watched by between four and five million viewers in the UK via the BBC.

137 About the Boston Marathon Inspired by their experience at the 1896 Olympic Games, several members of the Boston Athletic Association founded their own marathon in The race has been run every year since (though the 1918 edition featured a military relay rather than an individual race) and is now the world s oldest annual marathon. Both the start and finish lines have been moved over the years, but much of the original course remains exactly as it was originally designed. Since 1924, the race has begun in the town of Hopkinton, and from there the point-to-point course descends through Ashland, Framingham, Natick and Wellesley. Upon entering Newton, the course gradually rises to the famous Heartbreak Hill. As runners reach the top, they can see downtown Boston for the first time, four miles in the distance. After running through Brookline, the course enters Boston where it finishes on historic Boylston Street. Runners must qualify for entry by meeting time standards corresponding to gender and age, which is another aspect besides its course and longevity unique to the Boston Marathon.

Backed by the athletic enthusiasm of the new Chicago Mayor, Michael Bilandic, and the leadership of Lee Flaherty, this founding group realized their vision on September 25, 1977, when they hosted 4,200 local participants in the first Chicago Marathon. The Bank of America Chicago Marathon has since expanded to 45,000 registered runners and an estimated 1.7 million on-course spectators. The flat and fast course begins and ends in historic Grant Park, sweeping through 29 diverse and colorful neighborhoods including Lakeview, Greektown, Little Italy, Pilsen, Chinatown, and Bronzeville. The loop course and abundance of public transportation options enables friends and family to cheer their runners on at many locations along the course. The Bank of America Chicago Marathon has a long history of hosting the world s fastest runners and has been the site of two men s world records (Steve Jones, 2:08:05, 1984; and Khalid Khannouchi, 2:05:42, 1999) and two women s world records (Catherine Ndereba, 2:18:47, 2001; and Paula Radcliffe, 2:17:18, 2002).

138 About the BMW Berlin Marathon A group of runners from one of Germany s most prestigious athletics clubs, SC Charlottenburg, organized the first Berlin Marathon in In 1981, the race moved from the Grunewald (a large forest) into the city center of West Berlin. Supported by the three Western forces of Great Britain, France, and the United States, the race quickly developed into Germany s biggest and highest-quality marathon. After the Berlin Wall collapsed in November of 1989, a new era began. On September 30, 1990, three days before reunification, the course of the Berlin Marathon was redirected through the Brandenburg Gate and both parts of Berlin. In the 2001 race, Naoko Takahashi became the first woman to break the 2:20 barrier. The flat and fast loop course was then changed significantly for the 2003 race. The BMW Berlin Marathon has developed into one of the world s finest road races. Paul Tergat of Kenya became the first man to cross the new finish line, passing through the Brandenburg Gate the symbol for reunification and setting a world record of 2:04:55. Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia further lowered the men s world mark twice in Berlin to 2:04:26 in 2007 and then to 2:03:59 a year later. In the 2011 race, Patrick Makau of Kenya set another new men s world record of 2:03:38; in 2013, his countryman Wilson Kipsang lowered it again, to 2:03:23, and the current world mark of 2:02:57 was set last year by Dennis Kimetto, also of Kenya.

The race has grown tremendously since it began in 1970 with just 127 runners racing four laps of Central Park. Now, approximately 50,000 participants from all over the globe flock to New York City every November for an adrenaline-filled road tour of all five boroughs, starting on Staten Island at the foot of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and ending in Central Park. Some run for prize money or bragging rights, others for charity or their personal best. All are cheered on by more than one million live spectators, and the race has a broadcast reach of 330 million.
