The Brighton half marathon will be run on the morning of Sunday, February 28 in 2016.
THE date was revealed at a reception last night (Wednesday, April 29) compered by David Hill from E3 Entertainment, hosted and sponsored by the Grand Hotel.
2016 will see the 26th running of the half marathon, the first major road race of the year, which is very poplar with beginner runners and used by serious runners as warm up training for the much bigger Spring marathons held in cities all over the world.
Vitality UK returns as the headline partner for the race in 2016 and charity partners to benefit from the event are Sussex Beacon, Laureus, Scope, Chestnut Tree House, Water Aid and Rise.
A new innovation this year will be the Sussex Beacon Corporate Relay, a perfect opportunity for companies to encourage team building in the workplace, while giving something back to the local community.
The Sussex Beacon Corporate Relay is a good old-fashioned relay race for teams of five runners. Whichever team gets the baton round the five fun-size chunks of the Brighton Half Marathon course in the fastest time, wins!
The relay has been designed so that runners can enjoy the buzz of taking part in one of the biggest half marathons in the UK, with participants starting and finishing within the main race while most importantly raising money for the Sussex Beacon.
The Vitality Brighton Half Marathon is organised by the Sussex Beacon, a Brighton based HIV charity who support men, woman and families affected by HIV, helping them to live independent and health lives. Their services are designed to meet the changing needs of people affected by this life long condition. Each year they have to raise over one million pounds to keep these vital services running.
