The London
Marathon will go ahead this weekend after security arrangements were reviewed
in the wake of the bombings that caused carnage at the Boston Marathon, organizers
and police said on Tuesday.

Three people were
killed and more than 170 wounded some with horrific injuries, in two explosions
as runners approached the finish line in Boston on Monday.

The organizers of the London race said
after talks with police and city officials that the race will take place as
planned on Sunday.

London Marathon
chief executive Nick Bitel said: "The support we have been offered by our
stakeholders and the wider running community has been outstanding. We have the
full support of the Metropolitan Police, the mayor's office and other
authorities.

"We want to
reassure our runners, spectators, volunteers and everyone connected with the
event, that we are doing everything to ensure their safety and that the Virgin
London Marathon 2013 is an outstanding success
