About The Brighton Half Marathon

The Brighton Half Marathon will be celebrating it 35th year in 2025.

The beautiful beachside route will see you run past the Brighton Pavilion Pier, Hove's colourful beach huts, the Royal Pavilion, and the British Airways i360. 

You will be wildly cheered on by thousands of spectators lining the course every step of the way, creating an unbeatable atmosphere.
