The 27th Vienna Marathon 2010 will be streamed online by the Austrian broadcasting company ORF on this website here. The live coverage will start on race day (April 18th) at 8.40AM local time (Central European Summer Time, UTC+2h).
This year the Vienna City Marathon hosts the strongest field ever, after last year the race organisers only invited marathon debutants. This year the elite field consists of eight runners with PBs of sub 2:09h, including Luke Kibet (marathon world champ 2007) and Felix Limo (15K world record holder). The course record of 2:07:38h (Abel Kirui 2008) might be in danger.
Austrian Günther Weidlinger is trying to break the National Record (2:10:47h), which he set last year in Frankfurt and might well go sub-2:10h.
In the womens race, Austrian Andrea Mayr wants to defend last years victory in front of her home crowd.

Three Kenyans led the field in Zürich/SUI. In the womens category Russian Olga Rosseeva repeated last years victory with Swede Lena Gavelin in second. Altogether around 5.000 runners participated in the biggest city-marathon in Switzerland. Temperatures were optimal but the wind hampered the chase for faster times.
The Swiss Championships that were included in the race were won by Tarcis Ancay (men) and Rachel Berchtold (women). Both performances were not enough to match the criteria for a European Championships Qualification.

World marathon record holder Paula Radcliffe announced that she is expecting her second child in September.
The 36-year old stated that she (and her husband) always planned another child before the 2012 London Olympics. After all an Olympic medal is the only thing that is missing in her great collection of victories, records etc. That’s also the reason why the comeback to racing is planned a bit slowlier this time, with the first competitions in 2011. Right now Paula is still in full training but will (of course) miss this years European Championships in Barcelona.
European Athletics published an informative article here.

With the following weekend, the marathon spring will be opened. A hot and fast spring can be expected and experience shows, that already on the first weekend fast times are on the road.
Especially the marathons in Paris and Rotterdam (both on April 11th) provide a lot of excitement with deep and fast fields. Other big marathons take place in Milan, Zürich, Linz
The marathon in Paris will be started on the Champs Elysées at 8.45AM (local time, i.e.CEST). Last year six runners ran sub-2:07h. In 2010 ten runners with PBs of sub-2:09h are on the entry list. The best chances for a victory have marathon-debutant Wilson Kipsang (KEN) with a halfmarathon-PB of 58:59min, Ethiopian Gelana Teshome (ETH, winner of last years Houston marathon with a PB of 2:07:37h on a rather slow course) and Kenyans James Rotich (PB: 2:07:12h) and Benjamin Kiptoo (last years Rome marathon winner)
In the womens race a duel between defending champion Atsede Baysa of Ethiopia and last years 3rd-place Frenchwomen Christelle Daunay (French record of 2:25:43 in last years race) is expected.
The marathon in Amsterdam will be started at 11.00 AM. Unforgotten is the 2009 finish with James Kwambai and Duncan Kibet both crossing the line in 2:04:27h. Kwambai also leads the entries of the 2010 edition of the marathon and wants to win this year. However, also last years Paris marathon winner Vincent Kipruto might be able to run under 2:05h on this super-fast course. Patrick Makau is another hot favorite. With his halfmarathon time of 58:52min he is the third-fastest man ever. Overall, eleven men have PBs of sub-2:09h in this race.
The womens race is not as open as the mens race it seems. Chinese Zhu Xiaolin (5th in the Beijing Olympics) might only be challenged by Kenyans Anne Kosgei and Irene Jerotich.
