Extinction Rebellion has promised to avoid disrupting the London Marathon as it prepares for “40,000 to 50,000” activists to protest in the capital while the race is on.
The group is staging a four-day protest outside Parliament Square from Friday but has been in talks with the marathon race director to ensure minimal disruption.
A spokesperson for the group said: “We’re expecting around 40,000-50,000 people to be outside Parliament over the weekend.”
