Kelvin Kiptum reshaped the history of long-distance racing after emerging as the champion of the Chicago Marathon. The Kenyan sensation set a new world record of clinching the title within two hours and 35 seconds. Previously, the world record was held by his compatriot, Eliud Kipchoge with 2:01:09 in the 2022 Berlin Marathon. Kiptum altered the landscape of the 42.195 km distance, drawing global attention, including Ryan Reynolds, after his victory. Wrexham’s co-owner appreciated the long-distance runner with a one-world regarded, “OMG” on X.

On this note, Joe Pompliano, an American investor, put forth a notable idea following the Adam Projects’ star acknowledgment of this greatest athletic achievement. The entrepreneur wanted Kiptum to be a part of Reynolds’ plan in Wrexham. He made a significant remark after the Hollywood icon’s astonishment at the record. Pompliano tweeted, “Sign him up Wrexham”.

The suggestion for the Red Dragons to sign the athlete wasn’t meant to be taken literally. However, Kelvin Kiptum’s presence could serve as an inspiration for the Welsh side and instill more dedication in this season. Meanwhile, the National League champions got back into winning ways after three consecutive misfortunes in the league.
