I have just looked at the new route here Brighton Marathon – The Course
How can they claim the whole route will be traffic free?
How will people be able to get in and out of Brighton on that day?

the bit back and forth along new church road is gonna be pretty f***ing dull isn't it?
Sounds like it could be. Even worse, there really isn't much cure for shin splints apart from rest.
Still on for sub 3 hours?
According to this puppy, I should be targetting 2:54:40 so I hope Brighton is a fast course. (I'm running 10k in 39m but targetting 37:30 in the next 6 months)

Does anyone know how they plan to re route all the traffic to Brighton town centre on this day ?

Im not sure, I think I can do it. but its going to have to improve. my best 16 mile time at the moment is 1hr.52.
Im not really going to up it until after christmas and your brothers birthday, then im going to cut out alcohol.

I asked the event organisers if this traffic free comment was in fact true and they have confirmed that all the roads that are shown on the map and video will be completely closed during this event.
I really do not know how, people will be able to move around the town as this will include public transport.
They also state that alternative routes for traffic have not yet been decided.
I can see utter chaos in the city for this day, far worse than Pride, the Bike ride or the veteran car run.
Don't get me wrong here as I think it is a great idea, but surely this will restrict people being able to get to the town to watch the event?

There is also a Brighton cross country marathon. It will be in March 2010 and a full 26.2 miler. It has not been widely advertised as it is almost all off road & an inaugral event
I wonder where that's being run? There's the Beachy Head every autumn, it's pretty grim

If you are able to walk instead of run then still worth entering. The field is split between runners, joggers & walkers. Of course most of us are not running the last few miles!
