This year, the Brighton Marathon is set to be even bigger and better than before. This epic run will take you past cheering, supportive crowds and beautiful sea views. It also includes a flat run along the promenade, potentially making it a little easier or providing the opportunity for a quicker time – perfect for different levels of experience.
Sign up today using the form below or if you have any questions, please contact Sam Palk spalk@grace-eyre.org and/or share with any runners who you think might be interested.
Registration deadline: 16.00, Thursday 21st March
Not sure you can quite manage the full marathon? That’s ok, we’ve also got places available for the 10k event.
We also have places available in the London to Brighton Cycle Ride in September – take a look if you’re interested in riding for Grace Eyre.
