As event hosts and the organising charity behind the Brighton Half Marathon, the Sussex Beacon is looking for runners to join #TeamBeacon, take on the beautiful seafront course, and raise vital funds for the charity in the process.
Running a half marathon is an enormous challenge, Over the last four years of the Brighton Half Marathon, #TeamBeacon has rapidly grown and over 750 runners have fundraised £105,000! Thanks to their dedicated support and generosity, the Sussex Beacon has been able to give specialist care and support to many people living with HIV. Every penny raised by each runner is fundamental to the continuation of their services for people living with HIV, which cost over £2 million a year.
The benefits of joining #TeamBeacon are numerous:
- Free technical running vests
- Exclusive guest marquee for runners
- Private toilet and wash facilities
- Pre-event training and support
- Food and drink served through the day
- Music and an electric atmosphere on race day
Tom Oakden brought a group of runners to #TeamBeacon for the last for years, and here’s why: ‘I decided to run for the Sussex Beacon as have some friends who have been served so excellently by you. To be available 365 days of the year, helping serve people in real need, I find it a privilege to be fundraising to support that, for our city.
‘Sponsorship is so much more than raising money. There’s much opportunity to bring awareness that the Beacon is simply there, what you do, your history, and the reality of the needs that you serve. So many people seem to have an affection to the Sussex Beacon, a lot from personal association which is a brilliant encouragement.’
