Conner Mantz's Long Run During 2025 Chicago Marathon Build15:23

The 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon is the most highly anticipated marathon of the fall season - with both American and World Records potentially at play. The 2025 edition saw Conner Mantz smash the American Record as he ran 2:04:43, but that mark could be in jeopardy as Charles Hicks and Clayton Young headline a loaded American contingent.

The World Record is also at play, as Jakob Kiplimo is coming off of a World XC Championship, Half Marathon World Record, and 2:00 running at the 2026 London Marathon. Can he dip below two-hours and take home a World Record in Chicago?

Australian, Irish, Great British and Canadian Audiences can watch the 2026 Chicago Marathon LIVE on FloTrack on Sunday October 11 at 8:15 AM ET.

Here is a look at the full elite fields for the 2026 Chicago Marathon updated as of September 22.
