Brighton Marathon - 18th April 2010.

[jordanseagull]

Anyone on here doing this?

18th April 2010, 9AM start - the first ever Brighton Marathon.

They're going to try and make it big for the future, 2nd biggest to the London Marathon, and are expecting around 10,000 runners, and 30,000 spectators, finishing along Madiera Drive.

They are also in negotiations to get this LIVE on TV, and have a highlights package incase already. Great for Brighton and Hove..

Great cause - hopefully a great day.

I cannot wait

You sound just like a Falmer resident-cant put up with a little disruption once in a blue moon while thousands of people get enjoyment out an event. You sad little person!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

there's something i don't quite get about the course, obviously the map on there isn't supposed to be perfectly accurate, but how are they planning to get from boundary road to wish park if it isn't by new church road?

 

[Notters]

Surely far too close to London for anyone to take seriously (in time I mean)

There going to go along the seafront one way and then double back on themselves to head back towards Brighton

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I may enter this and run for the REMF. Considering I have not run since 2001 it could be quite a challenge.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

It would also be a week or so before REMF 9.

 

[ali jenkins]

[thedeadone]

[Mr Banana]

I think I remember reading somewhere that there will be a seperate application for people who missed out on London

 

[Steve Foster]

Yes I have entered. However I have 5 full marathons before Brighton! Am going for 100 marathons. Don't forget about beachy head marathon next month!

You can apply for both, and if you're successful in the London application receice a refund. More places will become available for the Brighton one then.

And, to answer the original question, yes.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Oooooooh, I'm gonna enter that too.

 

[xenophon]

I'm going for it, haven't ran one since the Beachy head in 2003. I'll have to train on a treadmill though, so I will probably do myself a permanent injury on the day. But, he who dares Rodders, he who dares.
