Brighton Marathon April 10th 2011
Firstly a big 'thank you' to our runners for 2010 and all those who supported them. It was a great success all round, for Leo House, Brighton Marathon and Brighton itself.
With all the public spaces now taken we will have 8 magic places available for 2011. If you wish to take part please contact us for more information. In this case we are asking people to raise at least £500 for us, and remember 99p in every pound goes directly to helping the chilren we look after.
If you have already entered the marathon and would still like to rasie money for Leo House please do get in contact via our info email address.
The 2011 course has yet to be released but 2010 marathon took part in the best of the city centre and fabulous stretches of coastal road, including panoramic views that you’d expect where the glorious South Downs meet the English Channel.
Generally, the course was fast, held exclusively on roads and tarmac promenade. The entire route was be free of traffic and where necessary, there was of course be barriers and/or tape separating runners from pedestrians, street furniture and other potential hazards.
Of course there were some undulations in the route, principally in the first half of the race, while the second half was very flat. The Finish was in Madeira Drive, just east of the famous Brighton Pier. The last mile in particular was be along the seafront road alongside thousands of cheering spectators.
As soon as we have more deatils about the 2001 we will post them here.
