According to bookie pay per head reports, Farah expects himself to be emotional during the Sunday race. However, there are fears that activists will try to disrupt the marathon. People want to use the event to raise awareness for various environmental issues.

Mo Farah in His Last London Marathon
The group’s protests have been widely covered in the media over the last several months. Still, people condemned them for interfering with daily life, slowing down emergency services, and harming historic heritage sites. A bookie pay per head blog source reported that the Metropolitan Police Department was ready for possible anti-social activity on Sunday.
When asked about the probable protests, Farah expressed confidence in the race organizers’ ability to host a successful competition.
During his prime, Farah specialized in distances of 5,000 and 10,000 meters, yet he still managed to rank third at the 2018 London Marathon. For Farah, who raced the London mini-marathon as a youngster, Sunday’s run will be a moment of complete circle.
The 40-year-old wants to continue his profession at the highest level but recognizes that his body can’t keep up.
The London Marathon will go off at 8 a.m. local time with wheelchair and elite events, followed by the main start at roughly 10 a.m.
