"As tensions rise around the globe, there is a growing concern over the impact it will have here at home," said Caban. Police in New York City adopted a "heightened" security footing for Halloween this week, as other large U.S. cities were also on alert, a time of tension over the Israel-Palestinian conflict. City officials mounted a super-sized surveillance and law enforcement effort for the 2013 race, which took place months after the Boston Marathon bombings, while the 2016 edition also featured increased security.

Returning to London he will present medals to thousands of youngsters racing parts of the course on Saturday, finishing under the famous gantry on The Mall. Briton Mo Farah, now 39, won the Mini Marathon three times and will be the man the locals want to see on Sunday.
