The climate activists want to pile pressure on ministers to stop issuing oil and gas licences in the North Sea - a demand the government has rejected.
"We never rule out anything," said spokesperson and protester James Skeet.He told Sky News:"Just Stop Oil will do whatever is non-violently necessary to draw attention to the crisis, so we wouldn't necessarily rule anything out within that framework."
In a statement they said:"The two parties have agreed to continue to discuss arrangements for the London Marathon, the climate crisis and the need to end new oil and gas."Friday will see"people's pickets" outside government departments from 7am until 6pm, to highlight the UK government is"failing" to meet its climate targets.
Sunday's protest takes place at the same time as the London Marathon and is themed"Running Out of Time", to support"causes amplified by the climate crisis".An Extinction Rebellion spokesperson said:"It's our intention to facilitate the marathon to take place smoothly."
