BRIGHTON MARATHON
Sunday 15th April 2012
Why not celebrate the Olympic year with your very own running challenge by taking one of
CP Sport's guaranteed
places in the Brighton Marathon 2012? With so much demand for places in the London Marathon,
and just being 40 miles down the road,
and a week before, the Brighton Marathon is fast becoming the perfect
alternative for those who dream of long distance running glory.
Even in it's own right, this event has so much to offer the budding and seasoned marathon runner.
With 18,000 runners set to pound the course in 2012, the run is now ranked amongst the top 12 running events in the UK.
Not bad for a run that only started in 2010! And here's why... You'll start from beautiful Preston Park,
take in the best of the city centre (including the Brighton Pavillion), fabulous stretches of coastal road, panoramic views
of the South Downs and the English Channel. You'll be running an entirely traffic-free course and experience the unbeatable
atmosphere of the final mile which goes along the seafront road where you'll be cheered on by thousands of fantastic spectators,
crossing the finish line into Madeira Drive, just to the east of the iconic Brighton Pier. Too much to resist? Read on to find
out how to secure your guaranteed place in the first ever CP Sport Brighton Marathon Team.
How to join the CP Sport team
The registration fee is £50. This is charged to cover some of what the charity has to pay the organisers for each place.
We ask runners to aim to raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship. This is much lower than most charities who ask runners to raise in
excess of £300 in sponsorship, sometimes up to £1000!
Simply print off and fill in the registration form and
post it to us at the address at the bottom of the form, along a cheque for £50 to cover your registration fee.
We will support you every step of the way!
Once you've registered, we will provide you with a sponsorship pack, a breathable CP Sport running t-shirt, sponsorship information
and advice. We'll also be there to meet you at the end of the run, come rain or shine, to congratulate you and offer you something
to refuel on!
Already got your own place?
If you have your own place and would like to raise sponsorship for CP Sport, we offer all of the above but you do not need to reach
the minimum sponsorship target. Just get in touch with Jo, and she'll send you a fundraising pack and t-shirt right away.
Comments from Brighton Marathon 2011 runners
"This is a lovely event - big enough to get lots of support but without runners getting in each others way."
"My first marathon - the perfect race for it!"
"What a fabulous event!"
"I've already got my place for next year as it was so good this year - I may not even contemplate trying to get into London again
if I know Brighton is being run!"
"The Brighton Marathon, only in its second year is already becoming one to watch. The organisation of this event made you feel completely
looked-after. The spectators were on form and the volunteers were with you every step."
"Lots of water, fuel and Vaseline provided. Beautiful medal. Fantastic experience."
