About the event

Could you or someone you know run the Brighton Marathon for Grace Eyre?

Take on the iconic Brighton Marathon to raise vital funds for people with learning disabilities and/or autism in Brighton & Hove.

With general places now sold out, a charity spot is the only way for you to take part.

When: Sunday 6th April 2025
Start: Preston Park
Finish: Brighton seafront

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 at spalk@grace-eyre.org and/or share with any runners who you think might be interested.

Registration deadline: 4:00 pm on Thursday 13th March 2025

Not sure you can quite manage the full marathon? That’s ok, we’ve also got places available for the 10k event.

What people are saying

“I have always wanted to do a marathon but have always found an excuse as to why I shouldn’t do one: out of shape, too many responsibilities, no time to train, etc. I have always run, but nothing as far as 15K – let alone a marathon! I’ve been building my fitness each week over the past month.”

“The reason I want to run for Grace Eyre is because I want to run for a local charity that is close to my heart. Recently I started a suspected diagnosis of either ADHD or autism or possibly both after a long period of mental health problems.”

Matthew Hall, Team Grace Eyre Marathon Runner 2025
