I posted a thread about this already just want to make sure people can watch it if they would like for free.

Women 11:00 through two miles. No report on whether it was a full two miles. Low humidity.

Men start in about ten (minutes).

Prize money as follows:

First 150,000

Second 75,000

Third 40,000

World Record Bonus 50,000

Course Record Bonus 25,000

Link not working for me :-(

World Records CAN NOT happen in Boston since it's a point to point net downhill course. They can change this to 50 million, it won't ever happen.

For those keeping track at home, this is the 114th running of the Boston Marathon.

Women through 6K in 20:45.

They just clarified that that was indeed the time for the full 2 miles.

47 at the start. Doesn't seem to be much wind. Mile 4: 5:41.

About 15 women in lead pack 23:30 into the race.

wind is in the back I heard - whenever I run, it's in my head. Damn it. ;)

Women on 2:26 pace through four miles.

Anyone have a good recommendation for the best way to follow the race live if your work doesn't allow streaming media?

I have paid to watch the race. My paid link is only 1 second ahead of that free link people have found.

But the quality of the paid link is way, way better.

Free link is here:

Also all sports are basically built on the concept that everyone will pay the league ($4 per month unkowingly normally though ESPN). This is no different and I was happy to pay.
