Jordan Hasay suffered an injury during the Chicago Marathon forcing her to drop out
Jordan Hasay suffered an injury while running the Chicago Marathon and couldn’t finish the race. She had placed third at the Boston Marathon.
Jordan said in an Instagram post that she was about two miles into the race when she “felt a sharp pain in (her) hamstring and had to stop.”

Before the race, Hasay had talked about trying to break the American marathon record of 2 hours, 19 minutes and 36 seconds, which was set by Deena Kastor in 2006.
Hasay’s appearance in April’s Boston Marathon came after a year in which she suffered two significant foot injuries, which forced her to withdraw from both the 2018 Boston and Chicago marathons.
