Brian finished sixth overall and was the second USA male runner. He set a PR.

The race was run on a blustery day with strong winds from the west and temperatures in the low 40s F.

Njenga, who with Cheruiyot, broke away from Jimmy Muindi (KEN) with just under two miles to go, finished in 2:07:40. It was the third time in five tries at Chicago that he placed second. He was third the other two times. Muindi hung on for third in 2:07:51, while American Abdi Abdirahman had a major breakthrough to take fourth place in a personal-best 2:08:56. Robert Cheboror (KEN) tried to stay with the lead pack but faded after 20 miles and finished fifth in 2:09:25. American Brian Sell was sixth with a personal-best 2:10:47.
