About the event

The Brighton Marathon 2026

Featuring the fab new route - first unveiled in 2023. The earlier miles cover the wide, flat, leafy roads within the city itself before heading to the glorious Brighton seafront! Miles 15-25 will take place within the ultra-supportive community of Hove before the final traditional loud finish and Beach Village Fun! You won't want to miss the celebrations at the end of the course!

Run the Brighton Marathon 2025 for charity 

If you request one of our charity places in the Brighton Marathon we'll offer you FREE entry when you commit to raising £500 (not including gift aid), a FREE running top and all the Team Tommy's support and care. Select the 'I would like a Tommy's place' button.
