Marathon World Record in Danger of Being Broken Again Soon

• Kelvin Kiptum broke the men's marathon world record in Chicago, running 2:00:35.
• Kiptum is now closer to becoming the first man to break the two-hour barrier in an eligible race.
• Major marathons like Berlin, Boston, London, Tokyo, Valencia and Dubai are potential venues for the record to fall.
• Eliud Kipchoge holds the current world record of 1:59:40.2, set in a non-eligible race.
• Other top contenders to break the record include Kipchoge, Gabriel Geay and Tadese Takele.
