The Chicago Marathon in October in the U.S. was also canceled 13:57 on July 14 due to the spread of new corona infection
It has been decided that the Chicago Marathon scheduled to be held in Chicago, USA in October will be canceled due to the new coronavirus.
It was announced by the Chicago Marathon organizer and the City of Chicago on the 13th.
The Chicago Marathon was scheduled to take place on October 11th, but the organizers cite it as the reason for discontinuing the growing public health concern due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
The Chicago Marathon started in 1977, and in the Ototogo Tournament, Osamu Hajime set a new Japan record of 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 50 seconds, which was Japan's first 2 hours and 5 minutes.
This year, about 45,000 people were expected to participate, but this time it was canceled for the second time.
Among the major marathons in the world, the Boston marathon in the United States, the New York marathon in Germany, and the Berlin marathon in Germany have been canceled due to the effects of the new coronavirus.
