What are the best ways to prepare for a marathon? I run several 10 K races in the past, but a Marathon seem intimidating.

Well for the first few miles, your muscles and lungs will be sore. You might want to start running long distances regularly before this marathon.  This is because the training you do for a marathon will be challenging your muscles and lungs more than any of the runs you’ve done before.  When you start training for a marathon, the first few weeks can be really hard, and you’ll definitely feel your muscles and lungs getting sore.   If you want to run a marathon, you might try going for a run and at the end, just walking for several minutes, and see how it goes.

It seems that a slow pace is a good choice.

It’s a good idea to keep yourself warmed up, so a slow pace will probably be a good choice.

Maybe someday. There's been a few events where people were harmed at marathons, so I want to be wise and focus.
