Officials say police will be stationed throughout the route, along with comprehensive screenings and explosive detection teams.

“As usual, however, the NYPD’s uniformed presence will be evident wherever one looks this weekend. Our efforts will again include what the public will see and what you will not see,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters Wednesday.

The marathon starts at 8 a.m. Sunday.
