Brighton Marathon 2018 club places available

All, great news, we have been contacted by Brighton who are looking to bolster their race with UK club runners for 2018.

For those who haven't run Brighton before I can highly recommend it. It has all the razzmatazz of a big City marathon - and is the UK's second largest with around 12,000 runners - but it has the massive advantages over London of a much more compact "footprint" of the course meaning it's much easier for your friends/spectathletes / loved ones to see you in a few places and meet at the finish for several pints on the beach!

We have 10 spaces available to fully paid up 2017 members who have a valid 2017-2018 UK Athletics EA registration.

If more than 10 people want a spot then we will look at criteria how most fairly to allocate them - perhaps by the number of marshalling or volunteering at club / Brockwell Parkrun events that people have done.

Price is £69.50.

Places can be deferred in the event of injury [albeit Brighton's policy is that an entry fee in 2019 will still apply for places deferred from 2019].

If we can have a show of hands on here, I will close this "ballot" on Dec 31st (as training should have begun in earnest by then !).

Your Run Captain,

Lloyd

I'm taking my bike so I can move around the course. Let me know rough times so I know when to look out for people but I'll probably be around start, along the front before you come back into town, around 30km mark, just near industrial bit and the end! I can probably track you all on an app!!

I'm going down by car on saturday afternoon - will also be on the start line. Anyone wants to come with me by car? I'll leave from Herne hill around lunchtime.

Thanks Valerie, but I'm sorted for travel. If you pm me or Sam Blackburn with your telephone number you can be added to the WhatsApp group which is hilariously called "Windrush sub 2 hour crew".

I wish I was doing this but life's plans for me did not include marathon training over the past few months unfortunately. Very best of luck to everyone running!
