New for 2010 is the very first Brighton Marathon. Held the weekend before the London Marathon on Sunday 18th April, this new and exciting race is sure to quickly become a firm favourite in the running calendar - especially for those who are unable to get a place in the highly competitive entry system of London.

Our guaranteed places for the Brighton Marathon have now been allocated and all runners will receive full support from a dedicated member of the fundraising team: including a training and information pack, a running vest, pre-race meetings and a post-marathon thank you party. This is as well as special pre-race parking and bus to the start line (and back to the parking at the end), a special charity hospitality area and a post-race massage area for charity runners. Runners with a guaranteed place are asked to raise at least £500 in sponsorship.

If you have gained your own place in the Brighton Marathon and would like to fundraise for St Catherine’s Hospice we would love to hear from you and offer you our support. Please email jenwickham@stch.org.uk or call 01293 447364.
