Kenyan long-distance runner Amos Kipruto and Ethiopian athlete Hawi Feysa took victory in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. The event is a long-distance road race held in the US city of Chicago.

Both titles therefore went to East Africa: a Kenyan was first across the line in the men's race, and an Ethiopian won the women's race.

The source report does not give finishing times, the size of the field or other details of the race, so no further information about how it unfolded is available for now.
