Chicago Marathon Japanese Results



This year's Chicago Marathon will be remembered for one thing, cf. the photo above. No Japanese women were in the race to get thrashed by Ruth Chepngetich en route to her era-defining 2:09:56 world record, but five Japanese men were, and most of them did get thrashed. With a 2:06:35 PB Kyohei Hosoya (Kurosaki Harima) went out on low-2:04 NR pace, running comfortably through halfway before a surge from the pacers dropped him. Alone the rest of the way, Hosoya managed to run down some Ethiopian competition to take 6th overall in 2:07:20.

Toshiki Sadakata (Mitsubishi Juko) spent most of the way working with American Zach Panning and then CJ Albertson to hit the 2:06:30 Tokyo World Championships standard, ultimately finishing 5 seconds behind Albertson in 8th in 2:08:22.

After getting dropped by the JPN/USA men's group, Tomoki Yoshioka (Kyudenko) ended up running as an unofficial pacer for Chepngetich, but over the second half he couldn't match her strength and faded to 23rd in 2:14:04. Chepngetich picked off the other two Japanese men, 2024 New Year Ekiden national champion Toyota teammates Tatsuya Maruyama and Yuichi Yasui, in turn, Maruyama finishing 18th in 2:11:07 and Yasui having the dubious honor of being the last male athlete to get run down, finishing just behind Chepngetich in 2:10:11 for 13th.
