Sussex Beacon Half Marathon - Brighton (United Kingdom)

The "Sussex Beacon Half Marathon" is the perfect event for anyone looking for a warm up for one of the spring marathon or just looking for a date to run off the excesses of the holiday season. A combination of town centre and coastal roads awaits runners where they can tick off all the famous landmarks of Brighton and Hove. Runners will pass by and through the Royal Pavilion, Lanes, West Pier, Hove Lawns, Brighton Pier, Roedean School, Rottingdean and Brighton Marina before finishing on Madeira Drive. Passing eclectic shops, bustling cafes and historical Regency era buildings in the beginning, the latter part of the course hugs the shoreline and has the runners running between the sea and intimidating white cliff faces as well as on top of them. Mostly flat with a couple of small hills in the second half the course is run completely on the road with road closures where necessary.
