The Brighton Marathon is one of the UK's favourite 26.2-milers. With a stunning backdrop of the sea in one of the country's most vibrant cities, the race gets bigger and better every year. Renowned for its buzzing atmosphere and roaring crowd support, the course winds through the city streets, finishing up on the spectacular Brighton seafront.

Ben ran for BCCS in 2026 - here's what he had to say:

Brighton marathon is London’s little brother.

Slightly cooler, more hip and a cracking weekend away.

While it may not have the gravitas as London and isn’t a world major. It certainly makes up for it with quirkiness, crazy crowds, great route and brilliant atmosphere.

The star is much better than London and getting around to watch or get to the start line is so much easier.

Finishing on the seafront is brilliant and Brighton itself is a city that is always worth a visit.

I highly recommend Brighton marathon and will be running her again!
