Brighton Half Marathon

Brighton, The City of Brighton and Hove

Madeira Drive, Brighton BN1 1EE, UK

Sun 26th February 2023

Organiser's Description

A beautiful seafront course, amazing crowd support and one of the first half marathons on the running calendar, now firmly established as one of the premier events in the national racing calendar. An undulating coastal route which starts and ends on Madeira Drive, between Brighton Pier and Brighton Marina, sees runners briefly head North, past the Brighton Pavilion before turning back to the coast.

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.
