Island runners not put of by Boston Marathon scare

Isle of Wight runners this week have made it clear that despite the disasters that occurred in Boston earlier this week they are not put off participating in the London Marathon on Sunday.

Four people were killed and dozens injured on the finish line of the US event on Monday, energizing fears that a similar incident could occur at the London Marathon. However this recent threat has prompted a security review from Metropolitan Police and marathon organisers.

Runners on the Island have said they will not be deterred by the Boston tragedy. 

My full support goes to those that are participating in the London Marathon, helping raise money for charities  in need of aid, as well as my thoughts going to those affected by the disaster that occurred in Boston.
