About this event
The Brighton Marathon brings over 12,000 runners to England's south coast each April for one of the UK's most popular road marathons. The course starts in leafy Preston Park before weaving through the city and heading east along the seafront to Rottingdean, finishing dramatically near Brighton Pier on Madeira Drive. The mostly flat, coastal route offers sea views and fresh Channel breezes, while the city's famously lively crowds line the streets with music, cheering, and local charm. Organized by London Marathon Events and holding World Athletics Label status, it's a well-supported, professionally run race that attracts both seasoned marathoners chasing times and first-timers drawn to the seaside setting and festival atmosphere.
