The Brighton Marathon is a popular UK event attracting many visitors to our sunny seaside city.
The race will take place over two days, starting at 8am on Sunday, April 6, 2025 at Preston Park.
There are three distances to choose from: one mile, 10K, or a marathon (26.2). The 26.2mile marathon is priced at £69.99 and the Brighton and Hove 10k is priced at £39.99 . The race will take runners through the city and along the seafront, passing key landmarks such as the Palace Pier and the Royal Pavilion.
Founded in 2010, the event has grown to become the UK’s third-largest marathon. The Brighton and Hove 10K was introduced in 2014 and is held the same day as the Brighton Marathon.
