Moses Mosop set a Chicago Marathon course record running 1st Place for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 2:05:37. On April 18, 2011, Mosop ran 2:03:06 at the Boston Marathon, for second place. Boston Marathon times are not officially recognized, by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which rules require marathon records to be established on a loop course (to neutralizing the impact of wind and course elevation changes.)
