More than 12,500 people took part in the Brighton Marathon today (Sunday 6 April), bringing the total number of people to have taken part in the 2025 Brighton Marathon Weekend over the past two days to more than 15,000. With the city bathed in sunshine, the Brighton Marathon was the stunning finale to a weekend of running and activity in the city. The weekend started on Saturday with the biggest Brighton Miles yet, when more than 1,500 young runners and their families took part in a series of mile waves in Preston Park. The Brighton and Hove 10K kickstarted today’s activities, with more than 3,500 participants, before the Brighton Marathon took centre stage in the city. Both events saw participants finish at Hove Lawns in the brilliant sunshine with huge crowds lining the route, creating an electric atmosphere. Among the thousands completing the 26.2-mile course through Brighton were Emily Marchant, who managed to fit running a marathon into her hen-do and to finish in third place overall, plus friends and family running in memory of Robbie Fitzgibbon, the Brighton international athlete, who died last year. |
