After the tragedy of the bombings at the Boston marathon we know that many people have concerns over the safety of the London Marathon this year, however we feel pretty confident that that the powers that be will be doubly alert and will ensure we’re all kept safe.
That gives runners peace of mind to focus on what they should – and those of you with an Athletics Weekly magazine subscription will know how they feel!
London will see a huge influx from not only Brits competing in the Virgin London Marathon, but runners from all over the world, as well as spectators coming along to enjoy the day. It seems like the weather plans to hold out too, giving runners the perfect climate to run.
Before the runners start a 30 second silence will be held to mark the recent events in Boston and many are expected to wear black ribbon to honour those who died.
