About the Brighton Marathon

Starting in Preston Park, runners will make their way past some of Brighton’s most iconic landmarks, taking in the beauty of the coast, from Brighton Pier to the i360, and then onto the Beach Village for those post-race celebrations.

Renowned for its cheering crowds and vibrant party atmosphere, the Brighton Marathon is the perfect challenge for both first-timers and seasoned runners alike.
