Brigid Kosgei has pulled away from Chepngetich, and now leads by a minute. In the battle for third, US runner Sara Hall is closing in on Ashere Bekere, the Ethiopian who won last year’s Berlin marathon.
With five laps to go, Brigid Kosgei has left her compatriot behind and moved into the solo lead. Further back, Naomi Mitchell has passed Natasha Cockram to become the leading British runner on the road; she’s on track for a personal best. Times recorded today will also count towards qualifying for next year’s Olympics in Tokyo.
