Women's race starts at 9:20 ET, men at 9:50 ET. Women's race will be dominated by Keitany up front, but great drama behind her with the debuts of Molly Huddle, Kim Conley, and Gwen Jorgensen. Men's race is the complete opposite. Stanley Biwott is the nominal favorite, but the race is wide open, including to our boy Dathan Ritzenhein.

MILE	PACE	WHAT'S HAPPENING?
1	Women: 6:28 6:28 mile = 2:49 pace Men: 5:14	Kim Conley going with the shorts! Neely Gracey and two Americans make a small break right off the line crossing the Verrazano Bridge. Wind in their faces for the first 20 miles of the race. Don't expect insanely quick times. We'll have official splits starting at mile 3, but the breakaway has already been caught. Ritz and Matt Llano leading the men's race.
2	Women: Men: 9:50	Ritz and Llano with a small break ahead of the Africans.

First mile was 6:28, three miles in 18:10. So miles 2-3 in 11:42, which is 2:33 pace. Men's lead pack is 17 deep with all the major players and main Americans.
4	Women: 23:40/5:30 Projected finish: 2:35:05 Men: 19:53/5:00	Lead pack 17 seconds ahead of trailing Esther Atkins and Janet Bawcom. Men's lead pack is 21 deep with Ritz and Llano hodling a tiny lead on the next 19 guys.
5	Women: 29:10/5:29 Projected finish: 2:32:54 Men: 24:42/4:49 Projected finish: 2:09:27	14 women in the lead pack: Temesgen, Mergia, Hailemaryam, Chepkirui, Kipyego, Deba, Keitany, Huddle, Nukuri, Marchant, Hall, Conley, Gracey, and Jorgensen. Gracey and Jorgensen dropping behind the top 12. 5:29 miles = 2:23:40 pace. Course record is 2:22:31. Ritz and Llano still with a small break over the huge pack.
6	Women: 34:43/5:33 Projected Finish: 2:31:38 10K: 35:50 Men: 29:36/4:54 Projected Finish: 2:09:08 10k: 30:37	Lead back is down to 12, gapped Gracey and Jorgensen by 9 seconds. STANLEY BIWOTT IS OFF THE LEAD PACK! Men's race is officially wide open.
7	Women: 40:09/5:26 Projected finish: 2:30:22 Men: 34:26/4:49 Projected finish: 2:08:58	Just 7 miles into the race, the lead back is whittled down to 8 Africans and Molly Huddle. Pack 2: Conley, Marchant, Hall 2 seconds back Pack 3: Gracey and Jorgensen 18 seconds back Stanley Biwott a DNF! Lead pack is down to 12, Abdi, Ritz, and Shadrack Biwott the Americans in there.
8	Women: 45:43/5:34 Projected finish: 2:30:22 Men: 39:22/4:55 Projected finish: 2:09:01	Huddle comfortably with the lead pack.
9	Women: 51:09/5:26 Projected finish: 2:28:59 Men: 44:17/4:54 Projected finish: 2:09:00	A Keitany/Chepkirui/Mergia breakaway has happened, with Huddle alone in fourth.
10	Women: 56:15/5:06 Men: 49:10/4:50 Projected finish: 2:08:53	5:06 at mile 10 is insane!!! Huddle five seconds back, everyone else 17 seconds back.
11	Women: 1:01:38/5:24 Projected finish: 2:26:54 Men: 54:11/5:02 Projected finish: 2:09:08	Keitany and Chepkirui have dropped Mergia. Huddle alone in 4th, 20 seconds ahead of of Kipyego in 5th. Men's pack 12 deep. Favorites (Ghebreslassie, Rotich) up there with Americans Ritz, Abdi, and Shaddy.
12	Women: 1:06:46/5:08 Projected finish: 2:25:53 Men: 59:01/4:50 Projected finish: 2:08:55	Another 5:08 mile from Keitany. World record pace is 5:10. Keitany and Chepkirui put the hurt on Mergia, who just ran a 5:54 mile. Expect Huddle to move up to third soon. Also, this has been a vintage Larry Rawson performance.
13 (& Half Marathon)	Women Half Marathon: 72:39/5:17 Projected Finish: 2:25:18 Men Half Marathon: 64:24/4:53 Projected Finish: 2:08:48	Women at halfway: Keitany 72:39 Chepkirui 72:39 Mergia 73:25 Huddle 73:35 Kipyego 73:54 Nukuri 74:27 Deba 74:28 Temesgen 74:31 Conley 74:32 Hall 74:34 Gracey 75:27 Jorgensen 75:55 Lelisa, Ghebreselassie, and Rotich break away!
14	Women: 1:17:13/5:10 Men: 1:08:26/4:33 Projected finish: 2:08:10	Keitany gaps Chepkirui, Huddle moves up to third. 5:10 mile for the two leaders, 5:34 for Huddle, much slower for everyone else. 4:33 mile for the three leaders cracks up the pack. Rotich vs. Ghebreslassie vs. Desisa now.

18	Women: 1:38:10 Projected finish: 2:22:59 Men: 1:27:10/4:36 Projected finish: 2:06:57	Keitany throws down another 5:08. Down under 2:23 pace. Course record is 2:22:31. Huddle on 2:27 pace in fourth. Debut update pace through 18 miles: Huddle 2:27, Conley 2:31, Jorgensen 2:34
19	Women: 1:43:31/5:21 Projected finish: 2:22:50 Men: 1:31:58/4:48 Projected finish: 2:06:54	Mary Keitany is running out of her mind. 13-year-old course record is right there. 5:55 mile 19 for Molly Huddle. Danger zone.
20	Women: 1:49:03/5:33 Projected finish: 2:22:58 Men: 1:36:46/4:48 Projected finish: 2:06:51	Sally Kipyego is Kenyan, despite what Larry Rawson just said. Keitany leading on 2:22:58 pace +2:07 Chepkirui +3:08 Kipyego +3:36 Huddle Everyone else +6:00 20-year-old Ghebreslassie drops Rotich and Desisa hard! Shadrack Biwott top American in 6th, Abdi 8th, Pennel 10th Ritz drops out.
21	Women: 1:54:33/5:30 Projected finish: 2:23:01 Men: 1:41:41/4:55 Projected finish: 2:06:56	Course record is probably out for Keitany, but she's up by 2:30. Huddle, meanwhile, runs another 5:54, but that's the same as Kipyego and faster than second-place Kipyego. Ghebreslassie dominating by 16 seconds now.
22	Women: 2:00:05/5:32 Projected finish: 2:23:06 Men: 1:46:33/4:53	Four miles to go! Keitany on 2:23:06 pace +3:03 Chepkirui +3:43 Kipyego +4:06 Huddle +7:20 pack
23	Women: 2:05:38/5:34 Projected finish: 2:23:13 Men: 1:46:33/4:53 Projected finish: 2:06:58	Kipyego and Huddle could catch Chepkirui. They just went low 5:40s while she ran 6:01. Neely Gracey all the way up to fifth! Top American man (and $25K) will come down to Shadrack Biwott and Abdi Abdirahman, as Ryan Vail drops out.
24	Women: 2:11:22/5:44 Projected finish: 2:23:31 Men: 1:56:27/5:02	Kipyego is about to overtake Chepkirui for second, while Huddle is now only 19 seconds behind third. Neely Gracey dropped back to seventh. For Huddle, third is worth $40K while fourth is $25K.
25	Women: 2:17:10/5:49 Projected finish: 2:23:52 Men: 2:01:39/5:13	Kipyego in second, Huddle only SEVEN seconds behind third now. Ghebreslassie dominating, Abdi and Biwott in third and fifth!!
26	Women: Mary Keitany wins in 2:24:26 Men: Ghirmay Ghebreslassie wins in 2:07:51	Keitany is about to become the first woman to threepeat in NYC in 30 years. Ridiculous that she didn't go to Rio.
Finish	American women:  3. Molly Huddle 2:28:13 8. Neely Gracey 2:34:55 9. Sara Hall 2:36:12 11. Esther Atkins 2:37:11 12. Dot McMahan 2:38:46 14. Gwen Jorgensen 2:41:01 16. Kim Conley 2:41:28 Top 10 men: Ghebreslassie 2:07:51 Rotich 2:08:53 Abdirahman 2:11:23 Yamamoto Biwott Yae Dabi Kipsiro Pennel Payne Smyth	Keitany wins it in 2:24:26. Sally (2:28:01) second, Molly (2:28:13) third! I think: Keitany $130,000 (win/time) Kipyego $60,000 Huddle $65,000 (3rd/1st American) 2:07:51 FTW for Ghebreslassie! First Eritrean man ever to win, impessive double back after taking fourth in Rio.
