Defending champion Ruth Chepngetich solidified her spot in history as she won the 2022 Bank of America Chicago Marathon just seconds away from world record fashion.
Chepngetich came into the race with a goal of breaking the course and world record, previously set by Brigid Kosgei in the 2019 Chicago race. The previous record was 2:14:04.
Chepngetich won the 2021 Chicago race in what was her first appearance in the United States. After snatching an early lead in the race, Chepngetich crossed the finish line well ahead of her fellow elite runners with an official time of 2:22:31 that year, becoming the fourth fastest woman in the marathon's history at that time.
