About the event

This popular 10k race starts 45 minutes before the Brighton Marathon in Preston Park. The course is fast and flat, taking participants through the city centre and finishing at the same finish as the marathon, on Madeira Drive. Each year many groups and families take part in the 10k and the Brighton Marathon, allowing 10k participants to start in the same park and then cheer their marathon runners on after they have finished.
