Dominant Kipruto wins Chicago Marathon Oct 11 : Kenya's Amos Kipruto dominated the men's race at the Chicago Marathon in two hours one minute and nine seconds on Sunday, exacting revenge after his second-place finish a year ago. Kipruto finished 91 seconds behind Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo in 2025 but flipped the script this time around, running all by himself through the final straight after a tactically flawless performance.
