London Marathon 2019 LIVE: Latest updates and result times as Eliud Kipchoge wins and Mo Farah finishes fifth

Follow the latest updates live from the 2019 London Marathon as Mo Farah attempts to win his first long-distance race on the streets of his home town.

It proved a display of dominance by the greatest marathon runner ever seen as Eliud Kipchoge ran the fastest London Marathon in history, beating everyone in sight with a time of 2:02:37 that stands as the second-fastest marathon of all-time, behind his own world record set in Berlin last year.

It proved a slightly disappointing day for Britain's Mo Farah, who missed out on a place in the top three and had to make do with fifth place. But a tactical women's race saw Kenya's Brigit Kosgei romp to victory with the fastest ever second-half marathon, while victories in the wheelchair races went to Daniel Romanchuk of the USA and Switzerland's Manuela Schar respectively. Re-live all the action below.

What time does it start?

9:05am - Elite Wheelchair Race

9:10am - World Para Athletics Championship

9:25am - Elite Women

10:10am - Elite Men and London Marathon

How can I watch it on TV?

The London Marathon will be shown on BBC Two from 8:30am until 10am, when coverage will then switch to BBC One until 2:30pm. Race coverage will also be broadcast on the radio on BBC Five Live.
