Chicago Marathon 2017

By Chris Dinsdale

October 8, 2017 - The 40th Bank of America Chicago Marathon is expected to see over 40,000 participants, sending runners along a scenic downtown course ending in Grant Park. Stanley Biwott, making his Chicago Marathon debut, heads the men’s elite field after the withdrawal of injured world record holder Dennis Kimetto, but faces tough competition from Olympic silver medallist, Feyisa Lilesa. In the women's race, Kenyan Florence Kiplagat will vie to win her third successive title against the formidable Tirunesh Dibaba from Ethiopia.
