Brighton Half Marathon 2025
The Brighton Half Marathon will be back on Sunday, 2nd March 2025. The race is one of the most popular events in the running calendar due to the flat course and the iconic route that takes in Brighton landmarks and scenic seafront views.
If you have a general entry place and would like to go the extra mile, join the Sussex Heart Charity’s fundraising team and support us in our mission to improve heart health in Sussex.
