"Two years ago I tried to take my own life after Uni. Now, I've been inspired to do something good for someone else, so raising money for charity is obviously a big inspiration." Ben, Andrew and Jonathan running the #BrightonMarathon today #BM10K @bhcitynews pic.twitter.com/NmXNneiGo3

The BM10K starts at 9am, following the first five kilometres of the Brighton Marathon route, then turning west at the Palace Pier before turning back east at Grand Avenue to finish in Madeira Drive.
Marathon runners turn east at the pier and head over the cliffs to Ovingdean before heading west again taking in Grand Avenue, New Church Road and Basin Road South.
Less than 30 minutes to go until the start of the #BM10K and the gates are now open. 3600 runners today on a "flat and fast" course #BrightonMarathon @bhcitynews pic.twitter.com/GHwpVnaMUI
