Kiplimo, Feysa Triumph in Chicago Marathon
- This year, Jacob Kiplimo won the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon in only his second marathon.
- Having set a half‑marathon world record of 56:42 two months earlier, Jacob Kiplimo made his marathon debut at the London Marathon in April, finishing second in 2:03:37.
- Breaking clear after the halfway mark with a 1:00:16 half split, Kiplimo left John Korir, defending Chicago and Boston champion, behind before Korir dropped out after the 20-mile mark.
- Kiplimo earned $100,000 for the win, Amos Kipruto was second in 2:03:54 earning $75,000, and Alex Masai finished third in 2:04:37 with $50,000; other payouts included $12,000 and $10,000.
- Kiplimo's marathon time ranked among the fastest this year but trailed Sebastian Sawe's 2:02:16 in Berlin weeks ago and nearly threatened Kelvin Kiptum's Chicago record.
