Brighton Marathon – Run for Epilepsy Action

Known for its stunning coastal route, lively atmosphere and enthusiastic crowd support, it offers an unforgettable challenge for runners of all abilities. Starting in Preston Park, take in the beautiful scenery on this 26.2 miles costal route before heading onto the spectacular seafront.

Taking part in the Brighton Marathon is mine (and Andy’s) way of thanking Epilepsy Action for all their continuous support as well as raising money to help others affected by the condition”.
