With a stunning seaside backdrop, Brighton is home to one of the best marathons in the UK.

From Preston Park you’ll hit the seafront and head out to Ovingdean, before coming back through the city and out to Portslade. Re-joining the promenade at Hove, it’s a flat run to the finish on Madeira Drive.
