Kelvin Kiptum Breaks Marathon World Record in Chicago

Kelvin Kiptum breaks a world record in his U.S. marathon debut

I remember about 12-13 years ago looking at the Marathon World Record and wondering if it was possible anyone would break the two-hour barrier during my lifetime.

That was when the record was about three and a half minutes over the milestone. Kelvin Kiptum just ran the Marathon in 2:00:35, meaning a pace of just better than one second per mile better would claim the achievement. I’d say there’s a pretty good chance.

It’s been 46 years since the first Chicago Marathon:

"Chicago" = 46 (Ordinal)

This happened just three days after the death of Chicago native and Bears legend Dick Butkus, which was extremely synced up to Latin gematria.


Great Chicago Fire

"Marathon world record" = 108 (Reverse Reduction)

Kelvin Kiptum from the Republic of Kenya broke the Marathon world record in Chicago on 10/8, which is the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire.

In Ordinal, Kelvin Kiptum and Republic of Kenya both = 163, Fire = 38

163 is the 38th Prime number


The new record was made 152 years after the Chicago Fire:

"Marathon" = 152 (Reverse Caps Added)

The previous record holder was Eliud Kipchoge.

"Kipchoge" = 152 (Latin)

Eliud Kipchoge = 125, Republic of Kenya and Kelvin Kiptum = 215, Marathon = 251

It’s been 2512 years since the Battle of Marathon (490 BC).


Kiptum broke the Marathon record 310 days after his birthday:

"Marathon" = 310 (Latin)


Skull and Bones / The Moon

The Battle of Marathon was on the 10th of September, written as 10/09 in Greece.

Battle of Marathon = 1009 Fibonacci, 171 Ordinal, and 223 Caps Added

Yale University was founded on 10/09 of 1701 and turned 322 days old the day after the Marathon:

October 9th is the 282nd day of the year:Evans died 20082 days after One Life to Live debuted:

"The Battle of Marathon" = 282 (Capitals Added)


The performance was a span of exactly 322 years after the founding of Yale University:

It’s 2023, the year of The Moon. There’s 223 lunations between each eclipse from the same Saros series.

The Moon has a Hebrew value of 223 in Standard Gematria:

Moon = 57 and 51, The Marathon = 57 and 51


Kiptum was also exactly 295 Lunar phases old:

Two hundred twenty three, Three hundred twenty two, Skull and Bones society, and Skull And Bones all = 295

The Chicago Marathon was held exactly 1880 Lunations after the Fire:

"Chicago Marathon" = 188 (Capitals Added)


The Chicago Marathon also has matching 754 gematria with Moon.

The Chicago Marathon and Moon both = 754

Great Chicago Fire has matching 90 gematria with both Marathon and Battle of Marathon and The Moon.

Great Chicago Fire = 90 and 90, Marathon and Battle of Marathon = 90

"Kiptum" = 90 (Ordinal)

The Moon = 90 Ordinal and 283 Latin

283 is the 61st Prime number

The new world record was established on a date with Primary numerology of 61:(10) + (8) + (20) + (23) = 61


Pheidippides

"The Moon" = 540 (Sumerian)

The original Marathon was run by a Greek messenger named Pheidippides.

The Chicago Marathon, Great Chicago Fire, and Chicago Fire all = 504, Marathon and Pheidippides = 540

October 8th is the 281st day of the year:

281 is the 60th Prime number

Chicago Fire and Pheidippides both = 60 Reverse Reduction


312 Area Code

Chicago, Illinois is home to the 312 area code:

"Chicago Illinois" = 312 (Reverse Caps Added)

These same digits are found all over this story. Pheidippides is also known as Philippides.

The Marathon and Philippides = 123, Chicago Fire, Great Chicago Fire, and Kelvin Kiptum = 213, Chicago Marathon = 321
