FINALLY VIDEO PROOF THAT RUNNERS CUT THE COURSE SHORT.

SHOULD DQ ALL OF THEM.

lol.

The fatty running alongside to see how long he could hang.

This is a strange race....

Somebody should've gone around the turn and challenged the others' finishing eligibility

THAT WAY BEKELE WOULD WIN AND HE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE FINISHED THE RACE!!

they all cut it. probably the people following didn't think about it.

The 36.25 turnaround chip scanner caught all those runners anyway, if they did cut the course.

That would be interesting if the top 4 get DQ'd

He was prob a x-fit-the-real-one dude!

They probably cut 10-20m off the course because you have to double the distance since it's out and back to the hairpin turn. Will they possibly DQ those 4?

Agreed. I really like it. Kinda exciting.

Robi cut it the most. He's the one that did it and the others tried to follow. that would piss me off. These guys are in such a rhythm on this no turn course that the turn is going to be a big deal to begin with. Then some guy throws you off and cuts it early.

Bad form. I'm glad he's now getting droped.

Lead female getting caught.... finally.

ROFL

37th km 3:05 - slowest in the race

Womens' race is getting interesting.

He is too stocky for 26.2 mi.

The female train just caught and passed the runaway locomotive.

Race over for Tufa

Two men remain right now with 4k to go -- Lelisa Desisa and Lemi Hayle. Remember that Desisa was the man whom Wilson Kipsang outkicked in NYC last fall.

The women's pack has caught Tufa. Looks like she isn't going to win and may not even place top 5!
