Refreshments
There will be four drinks stations along the 13.1 mile course with water at each. You’ll find water stations in miles 3 and 6 and HIGH5 and water in miles 9 and 11.

Toilets
We know there can never be enough toilets, but we try to ensure that you don’t have to queue too long on race day. In addition to the existing public toilets at the Colonnade Cafe, Peter Pan playground and along Hove Promenade, there are portable toilets and urinals on Madeira Drive adjacent to the start pens, close to our baggage service and at all four drinks stations along the route.

Disabled toilets
Disabled toilets are available in each block of toilet facilities in race village and at each of the four drinks stations. There are also public toilets along Hove Prom.

Baggage
The baggage service opens at 7.15am on race morning. Attached to your race number is a baggage label. If you wish to use our baggage facility this should be looped around the handle of your bag before handing it over. Please make sure you bring a waterproof bag and avoid leaving any valuables inside.

If you’re keen to achieve a certain target time for the race, we’ll have a team of pacers from RunBrighton on race day to help you reach your goal. There will be pacers for 1hr 30mins / 1hr 45mins / 2hrs / 2hrs 15mins / 2hrs 30 mins / 2hrs 45mins and 3hrs.
