Whether you're taking on your first marathon, looking for a personal best, want to explore your local countryside or experience the electric atmosphere of a mass participation running event in a city; there's a running event for every type of runner at Pilgrims Hospices.

Keep your eyes peeled on our website, as we will be launching additional running events in the coming weeks! 

Brighton Marathon

The seaside marathon returns on Sunday 12 April 2026.

Fancy a marathon with a side of sea air instead of the usual city heat? Join #TeamPilgrims and experience the unforgettable atmosphere of running 26.2 miles through the buzzing city streets of Brighton & Hove alongside thousands of fellow runners, as friends, family, and the local community line the pavements to cheer you on.

With every mile, you'll be raising vital funds to help Pilgrims Hospices continue to provide skilled and compassionate care to those facing an incurable illness across east Kent.
