The men's leader (Lemma) took off and broke away from the group and had a lead of several minutes. However, he has struggled with the hills over the years and as it nears the finish several runners are starting to chase him down (including Chebet who has won the last two years) and you have to wonder if he is going to hold on for the finish with about a mile left.

The girls still have a huge lead pack with about 6 miles left.
