The flagship Brighton Marathon, held on a stunning 26.2-mile course that starts in the heart of the city and finishes in style on Brighton’s world-famous seafront. Enjoy an atmosphere like no other in this bustling, vibrant and colourful city, which welcomes thousands of spectators and the local community each year.

Make a weekend of it, stay in one of the fantastic hotels, shop, eat, drink, participate and then celebrate together in the unique Beach Village at the Finish of the marathon and 10K on Hove Lawns.

The course is flat, scenic and great for a PB, taking participants east along the coast, past the city’s iconic landmarks including the Pavilion, and finishing just before the marathon on the sea front at the joint Finish Line on Hove Lawns.

This is a great event for all runners, from beginners to the super-fast athletes who want to run a fast time offering everyone an amazing experience and atmosphere. This is an event for everyone, with something for all ages and abilities. Come and be a part of it.
