The Brighton 10K route
THE COURSE
The fast, flat course is ideal for runners of all levels and is held on traffic free roads.
RACE SPEED
Whilst the front of the race may cover the 10k course in under 30 minutes (course record under 29 minutes), there are plenty of people finishing after 60, 70 or 80 minutes - there will be no judgement of your time, just admiration for you having done it.
For all those in between, the speed at the front provides an opportunity for everyone to get a good time - 36 min. runners dragged to sub 35 min, 46 min. runners to sub 45 mins and so on down the line of exhausted but happy athletes.
THE COURSE SPECIFICS
The start (and finish) line is located on Madeira Drive, approximately 500m East of the Palace Pier. The race heads west along Madeira Drive and the A259 as far as the King Alfred in Hove (3.5k). Here the course turns left down to Kings Esplanade and then onto the Prom as far as the Peace Statue (just after 5k). Here the route rejoins the A259 back to the Aquarium and onto Madeira Drive, passing the start/finish (7k) to reach a 180 degree turn at Black Rock and a 1500m sprint back to the finish.

Hiya, I just wanted to double check whether this event is still going ahead in 2019? My confirmation email takes me to a webpage where it says it’s been cancelled? Has it been taken over by another organisation? Cheers!W
I booked for this event a few weeks ago on 10th October via active.com and received confirmation of registration and a barcode to be presented at the event. No number has been sent out to me or any other info at all. First I want to confirm I still have a place as I saw something about the event being taken over by another provider, I guess yourselves. My name is William Mitchell and I have an Reg ID of R-OYV052JJ. Please also confirm how I get my number, it was always sent in the post in the past.S

I would like to thank Keith and all of the volunteers and helpers for an outstanding race. My team of 7 athletes were made welcome and we travelled from all over the country including Scotland, to attend this event.
We will be back next year.
Thank you 😁Did the 10k in 2019
I'm local to Brighton and have done this a few times. A flat course and good value. There does seem to have been an issue with times this year as like others I have been texted someone else's time and I cannot see the results anywhere yet either!K
Kevin DDid the 10k in 2019
The course is flat and good for first timers or people training for bigger events. I never got my race number posted unfortunately. When I asked for another one at the information desk. I was made to feel slightly embarrassed as to why I did not have one. The medal was poor for the fee paid. I looked like something you would give a 7 year old after sports day. Would I run the race again yes. But the customer service and medal definitely needs improvement.M
Matthew J OtrellDid the 10k in 2019

DBDid the 10k in 2019
This was my first ever run and is very good for beginners. Friendly atmosphere, easy route to run and flat. However I got a text message telling me about another persons time and not mine? Waiting to see my time and links to see photos that were taken.N

JackyDid the 10k in 2019
Always good but please change the medal. It really is awful compared to others. I have over 130 and have done this race each year but it never changes and it xould be so much nicer.. bit disorganised at the end today but got a pb. Everyone is friendly and its a good one to doJ
Jacy MDid the 10k in 2019
I’ve done this race for last couple of years and really like it - great course and runners can really spread out.Did the 10k in 2019
Having seen only one review for this event and that being a negative one I felt I wanted to put my point of view.Firstly superb organisation, Everything clearly laid out but without the glossy magazines and media hype of the "professional fun runs". This reflects very nicely in the price which is about half or less of other events. The course is flat, The Marshalls brilliant, the crowd support great, the bling looks good and frankly everything is brilliant.
Definitely one to go in my diary for the next year. A big thanks to the organisers.
