Hawi Feysa defends title after stunning breakaway at 2026 Chicago Marathon finish

Source says

It was a fierce battle to the finish line as 2025 Chicago Marathon champion and debut Chicago racer Sharon Lokedi jockeyed for the victory. With just minutes to the finish, however, Hawi Feysa broke away from the competition in the final stretch of the race in a stunning move. This is huge.

This is significant at this point in time, analyst and running coach Ed Eyestone said during the broadcast. She s going to be impossible to catch at this point. Feysa s victory in the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon was an astonishing feat; her winning time of 2:14:57 trimmed more than two minutes off her previous personal best. And now, she s on top for a second consecutive year and she did it faster than she has ever run a marathon before. Check back for more on this developing story.
