The Brighton Marathon

Have you ever wanted to take part in a marathon but have never been brave enough to sign up? Or maybe you're just looking for a new challenge? Why not enter the Brighton Marathon. The inaugural Brighton Marathon was a huge success and 2011 is set to be even bigger and better.

The race route for the Brighton Marathon starts with a loop of Preston Park, and then takes in the best of the city centre including Brighton Pavilion and fabulous stretches of coastal road, including panoramic views that you’d expect where the glorious South Downs meet the English Channel. The final three miles is along the seafront where you will be blown away by the enormous crowds gathered in their masses cheering you on.
