With six months to go until race day, organisers for the Vitality Brighton Half Marathon 2016 urge runners to sign up as few places remain.
More than 8,000 places have been snapped up so far, and the event looks likely to sell out within the next few weeks.
Celebrating its 26th year in 2016, the famous seafront course, draws large crowds and runners of all abilities, from beginners to elites, to run the 13.1 mile route through the city.
Race day for 2016 is February 28 2016, and the race date is ideal preparation for anyone training for a Spring marathon, in Brighton, London, Manchester or Paris.
Race director Martin Harrigan, said: “It really is a fantastic event that continues to grow year on year whilst still retaining its community feel. Support on the course is incredible and the atmosphere along Madeira Drive as you approach the finish is something really special and not to be missed!”
The general public entry fee is £34 for affiliated runners and £36 for non-affiliated runners, including a goody bag and a medal at the finish.
