Kenya’s Ruth Chepngetich made history at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon by smashing the world record. She completed the race in an incredible time of 2:09:56, nearly 2 minutes faster than the previous record.
The fastest marathon timing system in the world
Our partner, The Last Mile Racing, was there to capture every second of the race with the BibTag System and it marked the first-ever world marathon record captured using the BibTag Smart Decoder. We’re proud to say that MYLAPS technology was once again used to time this iconic event and play it’s part in yet another record. Last year it was used to capture the previous record held by Tigist Assefa at the Berlin Marathon and the men’s marathon record which is still held by the late Kelvin Kiptum, who ran the Chicago Marathon last year in an incredible 2:00:35.
