About the Brighton Marathon
The Brighton Marathon is a large UK coastal marathon run as part of Brighton Marathon Weekend. It has enough field size and crowd energy to feel like a major city event, but the race is defined by its seafront miles, early hills, and Hove finish rather than a pure urban loop.
Brighton Marathon course description
The course starts in Preston Park and finishes on Hove Lawns. It is a road marathon with rolling terrain, sea views, and four main climbs by Mile 11, including early climbing out of Preston Park and later movement toward the cliffs before the flatter seafront finish.
Weather for the Brighton Marathon
April on the English coast can shift quickly. Runners should expect a cool start, possible wind off the water, rain risk, and a finish stretch where a headwind can matter more than the elevation profile.
