Defending champions Ruth Chepngetich and Seifu Tura lead this year's Bank of America Chicago Marathon field, joined by some of the world's best athletes who will be vying to dethrone them at the World Athletics Elite Platinum Label road race on October 9.
Kenya's 2019 world marathon champion Chepngetich started on world record pace in last year's race and although she slowed over the second half of the course, she had enough to take the crown in 2:22:31.
