Cheboiboch Videos

The 2007 Chicago Marathon has arrived. Months of hard training and time away from home finally come to end. Sunday is the day the athlete toe the line. Music by Mute Math ("You Are Mine") and Chris Thile ("Heart in a Cage").

Christopher Cheboiboch has finished 2nd - twice - on the largest stage in marathoning. First in Boston 2002 and then again in New York 2002. He's a verteran of 26.2 miles with a renewed fire for competition. After his runner-up performances in New York and Boston, he used his earnings to open a primary school near his home in Iten, Kenya - the Salaba Academy. He also bought the gas station in Iten, which still works with hand pumps. Christopher is hoping for a fast race because he wants to set his personal best. If all goes well, perhaps he'll find himself back on the podium again.
