It's your last chance to submit your entry to take part in the Brighton Marathon, happening on April 10th, when registration reopens for five days only from this Wednesday (March 16th).
In an unprecedented move, registration reopened after "a large number" of runners contacted organiser Grounded Events (GE), looking for another marathon option in 2022 if they were unsuccessful in the London Marathon ballot.
To "give everyone the opportunity to take part in Brighton Marathon" they have given a short window for runners to register.
The event director added that, more crucially, the reopening will serve to support the future of Brighton Marathon Weekend following the significant impact that both Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic have had.
Tom Naylor, Event Director said:
“Our event has been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and more recently by Brexit. For much of the last two years people have been understandably wary of entering events due to uncertainty whether the event can take place.
"Confidence began to return after most large-scale running events were successfully held in the autumn last year. However, the impact of Brexit has significantly affected our recovery. Costs to deliver the event have recently increased considerably due to increased fuel prices, reduced haulage availability and as contractors start to rebuild their businesses after so much time with no events taking place.
"Reopening entries will allow us to ensure our event maintains its high standard of delivery and experience and allow us to rebuild into 2023.”
