The Grand Brighton Half Marathon has become one of the most popular races in the UK since its first event in the 1990s. The 13.1-mile half marathon route takes runners from Brighton’s famous pier through the centre of the city, before heading along the seafront past The Grand Hotel.
The race is delighted to be supported for the third year by Brighton’s landmark hotel, The Grand. Andrew Mosley, General Manager at The Grand Brighton said: “We’re thrilled to be sponsoring The Grand Brighton Half Marathon for the third year running. As headline sponsors, it’s a real pleasure to have our hotel sit in the centre of the race course for an event that’s so special to the Brighton community. It’s always wonderful to see runners coming together in support of Sussex Beacon and many other great causes, and we can’t wait for 2020’s race to begin. Fingers crossed for good weather, and even better race times!”
