in the future yes, it can be done but needs to be done properly i think
the last three years we (school) have organised a 5k fun run in regents park. albeit at a different scale to what is planned for the marathon ride, but we have to tick alot of boxes for them (royal parks) to even consider our event involving 200 runners lasting 3 hours. public safety being the main issues, but we arrange everything from set up, marshalls, first aid, clean up
I really can't see why organisers / authorities would object to a marathon ride just prior to the race when the road closures are all set. how the forum control numbers and deals with unforeseen issues is another matter.
