London Marathon director urges protesters not to disrupt event
- Estimated £66m will be raised for charity, including aid for Gaza

London Marathon organisers have urged potential protesters not to allow the heightened tensions in the Middle East to disrupt Sunday’s race, which the event’s director, Hugh Brasher, said was “a force for good” throughout society.
Brasher confirmed that multiple security measures would be in place this weekend, but said he hoped the focus would be on the race’s celebration of humanity.
