Deena KastorHOST
Yeah, it was costly indeed as he faded in the later stages of the race.
Deena KastorHOST
And the victor ended up Amos Kipruto, who ran 201.09, which was extraordinary to see how he can hold on to that pace.
Deena KastorHOST
Fading slightly, but not as badly as the carnage behind him.
Deena KastorHOST
But he just looked so strong.

Deena KastorHOST
Marcel Hoog got the course record, first man across the line, the first women pro wheelchair athlete was Catherine de Bruyne and she broke a world record and to see her emotion as she crossed that finish line, everybody watching could feel it.
Danny CoyleGUEST
Another Swiss double, we see them all the time, two phenomenal athletes.
Deena KastorHOST
On the men's pro side, it was Amos Kipruto who ran 2.01.09, it's the second fastest time in the event's history.
Deena KastorHOST
He said that the reason that he was able to win, he's gotten third here, he's gotten second here, he finally is now crowned the Chicago Marathon champion.
TimHOST
We've been there and, and run it, and all had a lot of fun doing it.
TimHOST
But, uh, this year, Kenya's Amos Kipruto, uh, won the race.
TimHOST
This is a support...
TimHOST
With a superb performance of 2:01:09, which is a personal best for him.
TimHOST
And in London we know he ran 2:00 and I think 30 or something around that mark, so a little bit slow for him.
TimHOST
So obviously he ran into some problems there, um, which, uh, may be somewhat concerning for him.
TimHOST
But overall, a very quick race there by Amos Kipruto.
TimHOST
In, uh, the women's race, Ethiopia's Hawi Fayeza com- successfully defended her Chicago title, winning with a personal best time of 2 hours, 13 minutes and 33 seconds.
KofuziHOST
I'm, I'm, like, at mile 25, and I'm still trying to go backwards along the course to get to a loop point so I could see athletes multiple times.
KofuziHOST
Um, and first I see the lead men come through, and it's Amos Kipruto.
KofuziHOST
And I'm like, "Whoa, that's a surprise," 'cause I felt like it was Kip- Kiplimo's race to lose, and I guess he did.
KofuziHOST
I mean, I, I went into the weekend thinking, Kiplimo's not only gonna win, but is he gonna set a course or a, or a world record, right? I figured world record was probably off the table with the temperatures.
ClaireHOST
Who, um, who won?
TravisHOST
Amos Kipruto won the marathon for the men.
TravisHOST
He finished in 2:01:09.
TravisHOST
That's the second fastest time in Chicago Marathon history.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
If Chicago was running 40 degrees in the same similar conditions, I honestly, no doubt in my mind, we could have seen, you know, another sub two hour by Amos Kipruto, right? I mean, clearly won it, you know, like really easy.
speaker_0HOST
I wouldn't say like, you know, really easy, but like he won it by a lot.
speaker_0HOST
And he broke Jacob Kiplimo and, you know, like he wore a speed suit.
Chris ChavezHOST
He called that shot several weeks ago, and it didn't happen.
Chris ChavezHOST
But he ran his fastest time ever, finished seventh overall in a field that included the likes of Jacob Kiplimo and Amos Kipruto, some of the fastest guys in history.
Chris ChavezHOST
And again, like, he did this whole entire thing managing a torn hamstring that had been lingering for several weeks.
Chris ChavezHOST
He called it one of the best marathoning performances of his career.
StephenHOST
What else we got?
NickHOST
Uh, the Chicago Marathon, won in two hours and one minute by Amos Kipruto, uh, which, who, he beat the favorite, Kiplomo, uh, Kiplimo, Kiplimo, who came in second.
NickHOST
It was just a cool story because Kipruto got third in 2024, second in 2025, and then won this year, so, um, clearly stuck with it throughout the years.
NickHOST
Uh, that had to be a extremely demanding period.
ElleHOST
Um, I'm just looking up how old he is.
ElleHOST
He's 34, K- Amos Kipruto, as well.
ElleHOST
Um, so he's had a breakthrough this year.
RusselHOST
Yeah.
Matt ArcherHOST
I've got the results.
Matt ArcherHOST
So Chicago was won by Amos Kipruto in two hours, one minute and nine seconds, which happens to be the s- PB of Eliud Kipchoge.
SteveHOST
Mm.
Matt ArcherHOST
So it's now the fifth fastest marathon of all time.
Jonathan GaultHOST

Jonathan GaultHOST

Jonathan GaultHOST
Clayton Young is your top American after Vinnie Mowry went for an astronomical day but couldn't quite hold on.

Robert JohnsonHOST
That's what you're saying, right? Because he's too old, right? He's thirty-three.
Robert JohnsonHOST
I mean, nobody improved-- Why would anyone get, be better than ever in their mid-thirties? Oh, wait.
Robert JohnsonHOST
There's this guy named Amos Kipruto.
Robert JohnsonHOST
He had run, like, 18 marathons coming in to this year.
