About the event

Experience the buzz of the UK’s third largest marathon and take on the iconic Brighton Marathon to raise vital funds for people with a learning disability and/or autistic people across Sussex.

When: Sunday 4th April 2027
Start: Preston Park
Finish: Hove Lawns

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.

With our new Everyone’s A Winner approach, the more you raise, the more of your entry fee we will reimburse and you’ll make more of a difference.

Raise £50 and you will receive a branded running top
Raise £250 and we’ll reimburse 50% of your entry fee (£40)
Raise £500 and we’ll reimburse 75% (£60)
Raise £750 and we’ll reimburse 100% (£80)

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