Indeed, in Chicago, Cherono will face one of his biggest challengers when he comes up against Olympic champion Mo Farah.
The Briton won the race in 2018 and confirmed that he is focused in defending his Chicago Marathon title on Oct. 13.
Though he has not ruled out the prospects of running at the World championships in the 10,000m race that will be on Oct. 6 in Doha, Qatar.
"I am a reigning world champion, so I do get an automatic spot anyway," Farah said of the 10,000m, where he is a three-time reigning world champion.
Farah also said on Tuesday that he can wait until "the last minute" to change his mind and also enter the Doha 10,000m by the deadline which is on Sept. 16.
In April, Farah finished what he called a disappointing fifth in the London Marathon in 2:05:39, three minutes behind winner and world record holder Eliud Kipchoge.
Farah said a satisfying result in Chicago would be a win above worrying about a specific time. The last man to repeat as Chicago champ was Kenyan Sammy Wanjiru in 2010.
Now he faces the challenge from cherono and America's Galen Rupp and Dathan Ritzenhein.
