Starting and finishing in Preston Park, the races take place over a one mile course within a race village complete with entertainment, stage, screen and food and drink. There is something for all the family to come along and enjoy.

The Brighton Miles one-mile course is fully enclosed and will be stewarded by staff and volunteers, with a safeguarding lead present. Adults are welcome to take part, but where possible we encourage you to allow children to run unaccompanied in the children’s waves. Taking part in the event alone can be an amazing opportunity for young people to build confidence, make friends and have fun in a safe space. Parents, guardians, and supporters can follow the entire looped course to cheer on their participant(s). The parent or guardian of the participant remains responsible for the whereabouts and behaviour of the participant at all times

The race itself was fantastic... Support and marshalls around the course were amazing, a very local feel. The finish of the race is along the promenade and with the weather being nice it made it that little bit more special. I really enjoyed this race and would return to it in the future. Ryan B

Race itself was amazing. Course is a little hilly for the first 10 miles but nothing to be scared of. No steep hills at all. Scenery is breathtaking. I love Brighton. Aid stations are extremely well marshalled and are frequent... What is outstanding about the event is the support. There are so many people to cheer you on. Even in the furthest parts of the course when you need the extra boost the most. I can’t thank enough the residents of Brighton and all that came to support the runners. You can feel that the city is excited for the event. Michael P

Good marathon, a few hills early on the course, but the scenery is beautiful. It was wonderful to run along the coast. Great local support as well with families giving out sweets and oranges. Andrew W
