Eastbourne Marathon

About this event

The Eastbourne Marathon offers four laps along the seafront promenade, making it one of the flattest coastal marathon routes in the UK. Part of the TriBourne Festival of Endurance, the race starts at midday from Western Lawns and follows a 10.55 km loop between Holywell and the eastern prom. The pancake-flat course attracts runners targeting qualifying times, though the lapped format means consistent pacing and mental focus matter as much as fitness. With sea views throughout and a festival atmosphere along the South Coast, it's a straightforward route that rewards steady effort over four identical loops.
