                    REGARDING THE DEATH OF KELVIN KIPTUM
						   
"We are shocked and saddened by the news of the recent death of Kelvin 
Kiptum. Kelvin was a once in a generation athlete at the front of his 
career and there is no doubt in my mind that his greatest achievements were 
ahead of him. We were lucky to witness his greatness on the streets of 
Chicago. While he will be celebrated for his record-breaking performances, 
I will remember him as an incredible talent and as an even more magnificent 
person. The sport of marathon running has suffered a tragic loss. Our 
thoughts and prayers are with his family." - Carey Pinkowski, Executive 
Race Director, Bank of America Chicago Marathon

Kelvin Kiptum was the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon champion and 
world record holder (2:00:35).
