The London Marathon has said it is "working closely" with police in a bid to prevent the race being disrupted after environmental activist group Just Stop Oil vowed to "continue to disrupt" sporting events.
It comes after two Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested for disrupting the World Snooker Championship, successfully dumping orange powder on one of the tables. And the group have vowed to continue targeting sporting events, with the Marathon taking place this Sunday.
"There will be ongoing disruption until the Government meets our demand to end new oil and gas," the group told the Telegraph. "We will continue to disrupt sports and cultural events until the institutions join us in civil resistance against our genocidal government's plans to licence new oil and gas.
