We saw something very, very special from Sifan Hassan earlier. Commentator Andrew Cotter dubbed it the greatest win he'd ever seen in the marathon.

Hassan, the Olympic marathon on the track at 5,000 and 10,000m, was competing in her first marathon against a field packed with medal winners over this distance.

In the early stages she was clearly injured. She pulled over to the side of the road to stretch out a hip issue.

But Hassan continued. Eventually she reeled her rivals in and in a sprint for the line completed a memorable victory.

Marcel Hug dominated the men's wheelchair race earlier to win his fifth London Marathon.

The women's event was much closer. It was won by Australian Madison de Rozario in a four-way sprint for the line.

We saw some stunning elite races earlier.

Kenya's Kelvin Kiptum broke the course record to win the men's race.

His time with the second fastest marathon time in history with only Eliud Kipchoge having gone faster.

At one stage Kipchoge's world record was under real threat.

The TV coverage has just flicked over to BBC Two. That is also available at the top of this page.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Adele Roberts on BBC One: "I can retire now, I'm done!

"I was having chemotherapy 12 months ago. In training I only went up to 21 miles so I am just delighted because I didn't know whether I could do the distance with the stoma.

"I'm so hungry. Shall we go and get a burger?

"I just want to say thank you to everyone that came out to support us, because the noise was incredible. I don't really fancy another one but Audrey might so you never know!"

A group of our colleagues at BBC Sport are running the marathon for charity today. They have each explained their journey to the start line:

As someone whose only experience of distance running was cross-country at school and a novelty 5k dressed as Santa, I’m not sure what possessed me to enter the London Marathon.

The last three months have been a very tough learning experience, both in terms of the running itself and the discipline needed to train effectively, and I’m not expecting to set any time of note on Sunday.

However, Sunday will see me push myself into an experience I’ve never had before, and the last few months have been great for both my physical and mental health.

The best piece of advice I’ve got came from my Aunt Caz, a veteran of several marathons including London, New York, Berlin and more – don’t walk. No matter how slow you run or jog, once you enter the walking motion it’s very hard to break out of.

I can’t say I’ve stuck entirely to that advice in training, but it’s advice I’ll use to see myself to the finish line on Sunday – even if it takes me all day.

A member of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Roman Kashpur served as a solider in his homeland against Russian hostilities.

The 24-year-old, from Kharkiv, was injured during fighting in the Donetsk region in 2019 but, having kept fit during his recovery, he will run the London Marathon for the first time with a prosthetic leg.

Kashpur is doing so to raise funds to help injured Ukrainian soldiers and inspire those with disabilities.

"Charity is what distinguishes the London Marathon," he says.

"Sport is extremely helpful in the psychological and physical rehabilitation of people whose health was affected by the war.

"I want to show people who, like me, have faced a serious injury in life, that through sport you can recover, continue an active, fulfilling life, and achieve your goals."

Olympic winter gold medallist Eve Muirhead on BBC One after completing her first marathon: "I am so relieved to finish! Just seeing all the smiling faces crossing with me, it's so amazing.

"I'm not going to lie, there are parts of it that feel like you're in a big black hole! But it's the crowd that gets you. It's mentally and physically tough but I'm so glad I pushed through it.

"I am running for My Name'5 Doddie, I am an ambassador for them and I hope to keep raising a lot of money for them.

"I retired from my sport and I was so used to having a goal that I wanted to set myself another one! I did question why I was doing it sometimes but the feeling when I finished gave me so much satisfaction."

There have not been any interruptions from protestors so far, despite concerns to the contrary beforehand.

An Extinction Rebellion protest scheduled for Parliament Square so not impacted the race.

Adele Roberts has done it!

She has finished the London Marathon and is a world record holder - the fastest marathon by a female with an ileostomy.

"Shall we go get a burger?" she says.

Vickie Robertson: Thank you Adele Roberts for showing what can be done... my eldest was recently fitted with a stoma following a car crash. Thank you for being you.

A group of our colleagues at BBC Sport are running the marathon for charity today. They have each explained their journey to the start line:

2017. My housemates decide that for my 30th birthday it will be hilarious to enter me into the Manchester half-marathon. I played football and rode a bike to get around, but I hadn't ever simply just gone running - indeed, I was scornful of the idea. I didn't start my training for nine more months, squeezing in my first few runs in the weeks before race day. I just about got round.

Six years later and I find myself on the start line with a handful of halfs and 130-odd parkruns under my belt. But this is my first marathon - a whole new experience. And in so many ways too - before this I'd never owned coral trainers or a vest top. You'll see me in both on Sunday.

I joined my local running club last autumn and they've been both a blessing and a curse. Great, in the sense they've offered support and structure for someone as weak-willed as myself, but it's also meant I'm even less keen to head out solo on those wet Manchester nights. For anyone looking to start marathon training, I highly recommend finding someone to come along and distract you from the fact your toenails might be falling off. Hopefully the crowd can do that for me in the race itself.

I'm told you get the first and last mile free - that's your warm-up and your finish lap. That does still leave 24 miles, though.

Quite a lot - we'll see how it goes. Here I am at the start with BBC colleague Gary Rose...

Real life superman Kevin Sinfield has just been shown reaching the finish line.

He said earlier he was treating today as a warm-up for the Leeds marathon when he'll be pushing his mate Rob Burrow around in his wheelchair.
