Thousands of running enthusiasts from around the world participated in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Sunday, which featured historic performances by men’s champion Moses Mosop of Kenya and women’s champion Liliya Shobukhova of Russia.

More than 35,000 participants crossed the finish line in Grant Park, the second largest field in the event's 34-year history.

“Moses and Liliya set the pace for a special day at the 2011 Bank of America Chicago Marathon,” said Carey Pinkowski, Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director. “Race day is the pay off for months of hard work for all the participants, as well as planning and coordination between the event, the city and our sponsors, and I am proud to congratulate everyone on a wonderful day of marathon running in Chicago.”

Locally, 96 Bolingbrook residents crossed the finish line.
