The leaders of the men’s race at the 2008 Boston Marathon have taken advantage of the early downhills and favorable conditions to pick up the pace significantly. Their last three mile splits were 4:41, 4:49, 4:37 as the leaders are keeping the pace honest.
All of the main contenders are still in the 17 person lead pack, but Robert Cheruiyot and others have started asserting themselves with small surges, so look for the pack to thin out as they work their way to the halfway mark.
Top Men at 10k Mark:
1. Lawrence Saina KEN 0:30:19
2. Robert K Cheruiyot KEN 0:30:20
3. Timothy Cherigat KEN 0:30:20
4. Abderrahime Bouramdane MAR 0:30:20
5. Gashaw Asfaw ETH 0:30:20
6. Tesfaye Girma ETH 0:30:20
7. Kasime Adillo ETH 0:30:20
8. Shadrack Kiplagat KEN 0:30:20
