16:45 is right. Didn't know I'd typed 15:25 (ridiculous) until after I'd posted.
33:25 10k for Vivian. That's 2:21 pace.
Lead pack down to three Ethiopians and two Kenyans. Two pacemakers still trying to do their job but the leaders don't seem interested.
One Ethiopian dropping off. Down to two Kenyans and two Ethiopians.
Vivian's really going for it. She went through 15k in 49:39. That's 2:19:40 pace.
62:30 HM split for men's leaders. That's 2:05 pace.
Dewi Griffiths of Wales is running with Arne Gabius at halfway in 1:03:49.
He ran a 1:01:31 in Cardiff earlier this month.
70:07 HM split for Vivian. Down to 2:20:15 pace but still under the course record.
Also at halfway, there was a German (Gabius) and Pole (Szost) still on pace to beat their own national records, and a Brit (Griffiths) only 20 seconds off the GB record.

2.08 pace now at 25km
Stream on the official website seems to be focusing mainly on the German lead.
This race is also the german champs, so there are loads of club runners out. Also a lot of debuts, many runners are chasing a spot on the team for the European Championships in Berlin next summer.
German Q is - 2:18 m/ -2:35w and they want to have a full team.
I read on the side of the Leaderboard, the runners will have a good tailwind from 27k to the finish.
Men's leaders go through 30k, a.k.a. the business end of this marathon, in 1:29:42 down to nearly 2:06:10 pace. The three Ethiopians take off dropping the last remaining Kenyan, last year's winner, Mark Korir who looks ready to DNF. It's going to be an Ethiopian 1-2-3.

Yes. But it is more the white guy race. Griffith (Wales), Gabius (Germany) and Szost (Poland).
I wonder the last time 3 white guys were on 2:08 pace at 30k in a Marathon. Although it appears Griffiths is pulling away and the other two are slowing.
NAZ Elite guys holding at 2:12:High pace at 30k.
01:4014 30k for Vivian. Slowed to 2:21 pace.
Cranking it up, the three Ethiopians go through 30k in 01:44:30.
