Marathon Record Holder Kelvin Kiptum Dies @ 24
This is my first of two posts on this tragedy.
- Marathon Record Holder Kelvin Kiptum Dies @ 24
- Georgia Guidestones / Eclipse Code in Death of Marathon Runner
See my post from October 2023 on Kiptum’s world record:
Kelvin Kiptum has now passed away on February 11th, the same date as the NFL’s Super Bowl. Three days before Kiptum won the Chicago Marathon, a legend of the NFL’s Chicago Bears, Dick Butkus passed away on a Thursday. His death happened the same day the Bears played on Thursday Night Football.
Skull and Bones / South Park
A significant portion of my original post focused on a Skull and Bones riddle with Kelvin Kiptum, who as a marathon runner is mainly Skin and Bones. I expanded on this idea in Super Stream 61. Perhaps this makes it a bit less surprising that Kiptum has now met an early demise.
Kiptum died on February 11th, which was not only the day of the Super Bowl, but also the date Africa’s biggest football competition – the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
He broke the World Record just one day before Yale’s special 322nd anniversary:
Dick Butkus’s middle name was Marvin:
The first season of the famous cartoon South Park featured an episode called Starvin Marvin, which was about a young African boy who was accidentally shipped to the main characters in Colorado:
Starvin’ Marvin was the first solo writing credit for South Park producer Trey Parker.
Kiptum broke the record on the same date as the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. It was October 8th, the date that leaves 84 days in the year:
Starvin’ Marvin’s only other appearance in the show’s history was just fifteen days before Kelvin was born.
Butkus was born on December 9th, or 12/9:
Just five days before he died, his record time was verified by World Athletics.
“Starvin’ Marvin”
Starvin’ Marvin was Season 1, Episode 8
This is an important number to Chicago, whose Cubs won the World Series after a 108-year drought. The Willis Tower is 108 stories tall.
The Chicago Marathon was on 10/8
The Chicago Fire was on 10/8
Chicago Marathon sums to 188 with Capital letters, whereas Starvin’ Marvin sums to 1880 in Latin gematria. This was a number I mentioned in my original post.
October 8th was the same date that Israel declared war on Hamas, its largest military conflict since the Yom Kippur War.
