Hawi Feysa is set to return to the Chicago Marathon on Sunday to defend the title she won last year, according to Marathon Handbook. That report says she won the 2025 race in 2:14:57, an Ethiopian personal best by more than two minutes, and that the item previews the 2026 elite field. No other reports have been supplied, so the composition of the elite field and any challengers remain unspecified. The only confirmed detail across the coverage is Feysa's planned defense and her stated winning time from the prior year. Earlier reporting and later reporting do not conflict on any figure at this stage, as only one report is available.
