2025 Brighton Half Marathon

Join #TeamRaystede at the happiest half marathon!

Event Date

2 March 2025

Location

Brighton

Raystede places are no longer available for the 2025 Brighton Half Marathon. But you can still run for us with your own place.

Please click here to register your interest in the 2026 event, or see our other running events here.

Known as the "happiest half marathon", you'll run past Brighton Palace Pier, Hove's colourful beach huts, and the iconic Royal Pavilion.

One of the first half marathons of the calendar year, this is not one to be missed and the perfect way to shake off the winter blues!

The difference your money makes...

  • £200 helps us to settle in a new dog when they arrive.
  • £350 is enough to help run our cattery for a day.
  • £500 could keep our rabbits warm by paying for a year’s worth of bedding.
