Just looking for some options for Berlin TV coverage. I subscribed to FloTrack last year just for it. The feed didn't work and of course, they said no refunds.
Don't feel like paying $30 for a feed that may not work, or a race that may not live up to it's hype.
Assuming that there will be at least a few of us up at 3am on Sunday,
and given that often feeds don't work or viewing is blocked, what are some of the options for watching in case we have to hunt around? Thanks!!
This is probably the worst place to ask about it, if FloTrack has half a brain in their head, they've got somebody who's job at 3AM on Sunday is to watch running message boards for links to illegal streams.

Are you crazy? People post links to illegal streams all the time on here. LetsRun is under no requirement to remove a link to an illegal stream.
You seem to be posting from the US. Flotrack doesn't have the US rights to the broadcast. They only have the streaming rights to a bunch of overseas countries.
The easiest ways to watch the race for an American is to watch it on NBCSN. If you have cable, you almost certainly get NBCSN. If you don't have cable, you can get a free trial of fubotv which includes NBCSN here:

The race can also be streamed on the CBC with those of you with Canadian IPs or via German tv with those of you with German IPs.

Last year the race was broadcasted live online without any specific country IP needed. Dont remember the site (probably the local broadcaster) but i think it is likely it will be there again...
Hi All, Im in the UK and trying to get on freesports as I understand thats the only option. Is there a URL as I follow the link on LR but just end up on a twitter page
Im in New York and i dont really feel like ruining my day by getting up at 3am just to watch the race. Does anybody know if there is a way to watch the race later on sunday. (the olympic channel wont work because I dont have it, however I do have have the NBC sports app) On the app there is sometimes delayed replays of the sporting event but i dont know if theyre doing it this time.
I would settle for a radio broadcast even. I'll be up either way even if I have to follow the blow by blow on the Live thread.
Don't you ever say I was not there for you when Bekele and Kipchoge wanted to break the WR

I love the gowns the pacers are wearing !
Half at 61:29.
Kimetto split it 61:45.
The splits they show when comparing to WR seem to use the theoretical WR pace, not actual splits from Kimetto's run.
