Kawauchi makes a move. Could pull off a Meb.

Robert left the press room and missed it.

Kawauchi now leading the men's race and Zac Hine is second.

No joke.

Perhaps stated already on here somewhere, but among the women's leaders as of now, who is "Rkia"?

Rkia is 26 from Morocco making her marathon debut.

These brief early surges are so pointless and misleading. Kawauchi has now dropped back rejoining the pack.

No she let the excitement of 1st ave surge take the leaders out , she hung back and closed the gap nicely as they calmed down. She is smart.

1:06:55 @ half for men

Almost got taken out by a police motorcycle! Yikes

Kawauchi nearly got ran over by a poliice motorcycle on a turn.

He has decided to settle back in the pack.

Mutai just looked over at Kipsang and Kipsang had a big grin on his face. These guys are out for a jog.

Cop on motorbike doesn't like Japanese runners who eschew doughnuts.

Yuki will regret that unnecessary surge just now when he gets to Central Park and Kipsang and Mutai leave him behind.

Showing highlights of the 2013 race while the 2014 race is ongoing.

Such wonderful coverage.

Kipsang is making his move. I don't think you guys are seeing it. But he's stringing it out. Meb is right with him. The men's race has begun!!!
