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.
Brighton Marathon
The seaside marathon returns on Sunday 6 April 2025.
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.
The London Big Half
The community running festival returns on Sunday 7 September 2025.
The Big Half is the perfect half marathon for runners of all abilities. Starting by the impressive Tower Bridge, the 13.1 mile closed-road run echoes the famous London Marathon route. You'll visit the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham and Greenwich before finishing at the historic Cutty Sark. The Big Half is much more than a half marathon, it's a community running festival and everyone is invited.
You can register now for the Vitality Big Half as a Pilgrims Hospices runner for free, with a pledge to raise at least £350 in sponsorship to help Pilgrims to continue providing specialist nursing care to patients, and families, receiving end-of-life care in east Kent. Already secured your place? Put your best foot forward and raise much-needed funds for Pilgrims Hospices.
