2:09:56 MARATHON WORLD RECORD BY RUTH CHEPNGETICH | Parting Thoughts From The 2024 Chicago Marathon + What To Make Of The Performance

2:09:56 MARATHON WORLD RECORD BY RUTH CHEPNGETICH | Parting Thoughts From The 2024 Chicago Marathon + What To Make Of The Performance

One year after the late Kelvin Kiptum obliterated Eliud Kipchoge’s previous world record by 34 seconds, running an almost unfathomable 2:00:35, Ruth Chepngetich topped that. Her astounding time of 2:09:56 is one of the greatest running performances in history, makes her the first woman to run under 2:10 in a marathon, and lopped one minute and 57 seconds off Tigist Assefa’s old world record.

On the men’s side, Kenya’s John Korir notched his first-ever World Marathon Majors victory in 2:02:44. (What a time for the sport of marathoning we’re in right now, where a 2:02 showing is basically a footnote!)
