The 2025 Chicago Marathon is the 47th edition of the annual Chicago Marathon. The race is the sixth of seven World Major Marathon events and is a platinum label race.[1]
Notably, the 47th Chicago Marathon marks the first running of the race after the recently announced reduction in automatic qualification time standards. Despite the reductions, a record 160,000 people applied to run in the marathon, with an estimated 53,000 runners expected to cross the finish line.[2] This number likely will break the event record of 52,150 from the 2024 Chicago Marathon.[3]

The Chicago Marathon is regarded as one of the fastest marathon courses due to its unparalleled flat course and usual cool weather conditions.[5] These ideal conditions have made Chicago the site of seven world records at the marathon distance, with the most recent coming in the 2024 edition, where Ruth Chepng'etich lowered the record to 2:09:56, besting the prior record by nearly 2 minutes on her way to becoming the first women under the 2:10:00 mark.[6][7]
