Fernando Cabada of Fresno, Calif., will make his first Chicago appearance as the top American in the field. He set his personal best, 2:11:36, last year in Berlin and came in eleventh overall.
"I am extremely honored to be lining up against some of the fastest runners in the world at this year's Bank of America Chicago Marathon!” Cabada said. “My focus is to run fast and beat some good people. I am hoping I can lower my 2:11:36 PB by a minute or two and have been training with this as my goal. I've been waiting for this opportunity, to show the running world what I am capable of." Other running career highlights include seven national titles for Virginia Intermont College. (Twitter: @FernandoCabada)
