Kenya and Ethiopia shared the spoils at the 48th Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Sunday, with Amos Kipruto delivering a stunning personal best to win the men’s race as Hawi Feysa held off Sharon Lokedi to retain the women’s crown.
For Kipruto, the victory marked a remarkable turnaround after finishing second in Chicago last year in 2:03:54 behind Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo.
Kipruto, who trains at the 2Running Athletics Club in Kapsabet, clocked 2:01:09 to avenge last year’s second-place finish, while Feysa produced a commanding late surge to win in 2:13:33, denying Kenya double victory on the fast streets of Chicago.
