Get ready to experience Brighton's spectacular seafront like never before at the Brighton Marina Run – the first running event to take you down the iconic Marina Wall and back again! Starting in the heart of vibrant Brighton Marina, runners will set off along the dramatic Marina Wall, a stunning stretch that juts out to sea and creates the exhilarating feeling of running on water.
From here, the route continues east along the scenic Undercliff Path towards charming Rottingdean, where the crashing waves and towering chalk cliffs provide an unforgettable backdrop. The return journey takes you up onto the Overcliff, offering sweeping views of the English Channel and the city skyline as you make your way back towards Brighton.
The adventure finishes back at Brighton Marina, where a warm welcome, buzzing atmosphere, and a beautiful bespoke medal await every finisher. Whether you're chasing a PB or soaking up the views, the Brighton Marina Run is a one-of-a-kind coastal challenge that celebrates the very best of Brighton's iconic seafront.
