NOTE: Very exciting races with Deriba Merga getting the victory of his career (and his second marathon win of the year) by pulling away from the field in the 28th kilometer and winning by almost a minute. After setting an early fast pace, Ryan Hall fell behind to 9th place, but battled back in the hills of Newton to get to third position, nearly catching Kenya's Daniel Rono in the final push to the line on Boyleston Street. The women's race finished fast, despite an incredibly slow start (78 minutes at the half). The race came down to a three-way sprint between Kara Goucher, Salina Kosgei and Dire Tune. Goucher lost touch with about 800m to go, and the two Africans battled right to the tape with Kosgei, a former 800m runner, winning by one second over Tune who passed out at the finish line and crashed to the pavement.
