With 6 laps to go, Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku ran around the field into the lead, the pace quickened, the rest of the field scrambling to react. The strongest reaction was by Youssouf Hiss Bachir, literally sprinting into the lead 100 metres later, exchanging elbows with Ndiku. For the next two and a half laps, Hiss Bachir held the lead, sprinting each time a challenger, usually Ndiku tried to creep past. With three laps to go Abdalaati Iguider sped through the inside and as he challenged Ndiku everyone sped up and Hiss Bachir disappeared through the field. The field began to string out. With two laps to go, Yomif Kejelcha hit the lead, with Ndiku, Augustine Kiprono Choge, Iguider and Ryan Hill the only ones to give chase. With a lap to go, the first four looked to challenge each other as Hill was falling back, but through the next to last turn, Hill began to accelerate catching Ndiku, who faded out the back. Kejelcha held the lead the entire way to the finish for gold, Choge and Iguider were unable to make headway as the chased. Coming off the final turn, Hill passed both of them, Choge in the final step, dipping at the line and dipping again in confusion after the line.
