Brighton Marathon 2026

How to enter the Brighton Marathon

There are two ways you can join Team Macmillan in this seaside event.

Secure a charity place for the Brighton Marathon

Bag yourself one of our charity places and help us be there for the people living with cancer in the UK. We ask for a £35 entry fee and a minimum fundraising pledge of £600 (excluding gift aid).

Use your own place

If you have bought a place in the race already and would like to run for us, sign up here and we'll get a free Macmillan running top sent to you. There's no minimum sponsorship, just raise as much as you can!

As a Team Macmillan runner you'll receive:

• A free Macmillan technical running top plus iron-on letters to customise your kit
• A fundraising pack bursting with fundraising tips and tricks
• Access to our online training materials
• Regular e-newsletters to keep you up to date with Macmillan's news and activities
• The loudest and most supportive cheer points on the course!

Most importantly we'll provide you with a reason to keep going because you'll know that you're helping improve the lives of people living with cancer. Donations make up 98% of our annual income so we simply couldn't do what we do without you.

Please make sure you have read our Terms and Conditions before signing up. You must be aged 18 or over on the day of the event to take part.

Non-racing wheelchair users are welcome to take part in the Brighton Marathon. However, the race organisers do not offer elite wheelchair races or allow self-propelled racing wheelchairs.

Guide runners can receive a complimentary place in the event. For more information about taking part in the event as a wheelchair participant or as a guide runner, please contact the race organisers

By joining us you'll know that you're helping improve the lives of people living with cancer in the UK today.
