The 2024 Chicago Marathon was the 46th edition of the annual Chicago Marathon, held on October 13, 2024. The race is the fifth of six World Marathon Majors held in 2024, and is a platinum label race.[1][2]
The marathon had 120,000 applications in 2024. The number of finishers was 52,150,[3] breaking the 48,398 finisher record set in 2023. Notably, in June, the race organizers announced a reduction in the automatic time qualifying standard that will begin in 2025.[4]
A moment of silence was held at the start of the race in honor of the 2023 race winner, course and world record holder, Kelvin Kiptum, who died in February 2024.
