Description

The women’s race at the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon brings together one of the deepest elite fields of the season, led by defending champion Hawi Feysa and former world record holder Brigid Kosgei. Feysa returns after a dominant victory in Chicago last year and will look to become a repeat champion on one of the fastest marathon courses in the world, while Kosgei makes a notable return to the city where she set a world record in 2019. They are joined by major contenders including Sutume Kebede, Megertu Alemu and Sharon Lokedi, giving the race significant depth across proven marathon champions and athletes capable of running well under 2:20. With Chicago’s flat course, consistently fast pacing and favorable conditions often producing exceptional performances, the women’s race has the potential to deliver both a close tactical battle and one of the quickest winning times of the year.
