Brighton Marathon Runners Warm-Up At The Brighton Centre

In the lead up to the 2013 Brighton Marathon, the Brighton Centre is to host the warm-up event that gives runners the opportunity to get key advice from experts ahead of the race. Opening up the venue on the 12^th and 13^th April 2013, 18,000 runners will be able to collect their race packs in preparation for the big day.

“The Brighton Marathon is a key event for the city as a whole,” said Howard Barden, General Manager for the Brighton Centre. “For many of the local runners, this will be one of the first opportunities they will have to experience the refurbished venue. For other runners traveling to the city, it is the perfect opportunity to showcase what Brighton has to offer.”

In attendance at the Centre, key Brighton Marathon partners, a wide range of specialist running retailers, experts in nutrition, training, and physiotherapy will be on hand to ensure that the Brighton Marathon weekend kicks off with a bang.  For those taking part in the Marathon this is the chance to get some last minute tips from the experts and start to take in the excitement that the Marathon brings.

“We are delighted that we are able to collaborate and make use of the Brighton Centre facilities in the lead-up to the race,” said Matt Hudson, organiser of the exhibition. “As a local event with many local participants, the Brighton Centre and its newly revived facilities allow us to keep everything within the city, giving the runners a sense of the enthusiasm and local spirit that this event receives.”

The Brighton Marathon on the 14^th of April, spreads 26.2 miles across the unique and diverse city. With the majority of runners running and raising funds for good causes, the Brighton Marathon will help charities raise £5 million.  This financial benefit comes alongside the economic benefit to the city estimated to be £4million.

With the race preparations well underway, it has also just been announced that, for the first time ever, the Brighton Marathon is to be televised by Channel 4. This is an incredible opportunity for the city, its runners and its causes, helping to promote and encourage additional support in this and future races. Key sponsors have also been announced as Gatorade for the full marathon, and Shlurp! For the junior, Mini Mile race which takes place over the last mile of the course.
