Chicago Marathon: Canadian results

One day after Eliud Kipchoge’s historic 1:59:40 marathon in Vienna at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, there was plenty of drama at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, with Brigid Kosgei smashing Paula Radcliffe’s 16-year-old world record in the women’s marathon (in 2:14:04) and three of the biggest names in marathon running, Sir Mo Farah, Galen Rupp and Jordan Hasay failing in their bids for dominance on the course. (All are former Nike Oregon Project athletes, which has been shut down in the wake of their former coach Alberto Salazar‘s four-year ban for doping violations. Farah left the group two years ago.)

For many Canadians, however, it was a great day at the Chicago Marathon–a popular race for its relative proximity to Toronto, finely-tuned organization, swift course, and supportive fans. Here’s how we did yesterday.
