Catherine Debrunner has less than a mile to go.
It's looking like she could win this by five minutes. Dominant.

'This is a work day for us'published at 10:40 British Summer Time 21 April
Eastenders actor Jamie Borthwick, speaking to BBC One earlier: "This is a work day for us. We have to be at certain points and we will do filming and then carry on."
Eastenders actress Emma Barton said: "Normally we film about eight weeks in advance, but we'll film it today and it'll get edited in and we'll see how it goes."

Media caption, London Marathon 2024: EastEnders stars running marathon in character
The Eastenders fans among you may already know about the storyline where Honey Mitchell and Jay Brown are running the London Marathon.
Today, in a first of its kind, actors Emma Barton and Jamie Borthwick will be running the race in character and filmed as they do so.
Their efforts - or their characters' - will then be part of the Eastenders episode on Monday night.
Make sense? It all feels like a Christopher Nolan film to me...

Six-time London Marathon wheelchair champion on BBC TVThird in this field is a good, strong performance from David Weir and he'll now definitely be looking forward towards Paris.
There's lots of learning from him today with sitting on Marcel Hug.

Women's elite race
The pacemakers are struggling to keep up with this rapid time in the women's elite race as they head over Tower Bridge.
They're still well under the women's-only world record time and Paula Radcliffe's women's London Marathon record.
Tigst Assefa is looking strong.

BBC commentator on BBC TVMarcel Hug is taking a breather on the downhill section and he's a long way clear of Daniel Romanchuk in second place. Hug put in such a huge effort coming away from Canary Wharf.
Each of the last three years, he's set a course record but he won't be doing that today.

Good luck to Oscar Edmondson, we are so impressed and proud of him, running his first marathon for Dementia UK in memory of his grandmother, and in support of his girlfriend Sophie, her father has Alzheimer’s. No one should feel alone in coping with dementia. Go Oscar!
Much love from, Emma, Jim, James and Sophie xxxx

Men's elite race
Emile Cairess is the leading Briton at this stage. He's running behind a wall of three pace makers in their pink vests to shelter from the wind.
Cairess has spoken about breaking Mo Farah's British marathon record (2:05:11) today.
One to keep an eye on.

'I take my hat off to them'published at 10:19 British Summer Time 21 April

On the Olympics: "Grassroots boxing, all the amateur boxing going to compete for their countries, it's the best we have to offer. I know what they're going for and they're chasing their dreams."
On Usyk v Fury: "Boxing is changing a lot and Turki Alalshikh is doing it for the fans. If the fans want it then they will deliver. I want Fury. Turki said be ready for September. It's unbelievable right now in the heavyweight division."
On running a marathon: "I might jump in at six miles but I couldn't do what these guys do. What I do is nothing compared to what these are doing, I take my hat off to them."

Men's wheelchair race
The great Marcel Hug has made his move at the front of men's wheelchair race.
He was the pre-race favourite and is showing why. David Weir and Daniel Romanchuk have been dropped behind.
It looks like a Swiss double because Catherine Debrunner is still taking these streets entirely on her own in the women's race.
Ratcliffe's race against timepublished at 10:14 British Summer Time 21 April

He has run plenty of these races before but has an extra challenge today.
His football club are playing in an FA Cup semi-final at 15:30 BST.
He's aiming for something under four hours.
It's going to be tight...
