More than 14,000 runners completed the Brighton Marathon and, earlier, more than 3,500 finished the Brighton and Hove 10K.
It was a record-breaking event, according to the organisers, with more than 20,000 runners taking part in a weekend of events.
The marathon itself was started by England Rugby World Cup winner Jess Breach at Preston Park, in Brighton.
The men’s marathon winner was Sam Cook, from Horsham, who crossed the line first for the second year running – this time in 2 hours 25 minutes.
The women’s race was won by Brighton Phoenix Amy Harris who finished in 2 hours 49 minutes. She told the BBC: “It felt like we had support the whole way.
“It really gives such a boost when you have your name cheered and everyone’s yelling for you. It’s an unbelievable feeling and really lovely.”
In the 10K race, Kieran Barnes was the fastest man, finishing in 31 minutes 33 seconds. Josie Wren-Golder was the first woman home in 36 minutes 59 seconds.
While the marathon attracts a significant number of elite athletes and competitive runners, some of them preparing for the London Marathon, many ran for charity – and plenty of those donned fancy dress.
Braille artist Clarke Reynolds, from Havant, Hampshire, ran the marathon in smart glasses, with volunteers who were able to see giving him directions using a camera and speakers.
Mr Reynolds, who works in schools using the name Mr Dot, said that he might have given up but for the help of the volunteers.
Brighton Marathon Weekend event director Joe Carter said: “This has been the best and biggest Brighton Marathon Weekend ever.
“More than 20,000 people have taken part in one of our fantastic events over the weekend and today a record-breaking 14,000 people took on tough, blustery conditions to complete the Brighton Marathon.
“They were supported every step of the way by an incredible number of spectators who created a fantastic atmosphere in the city for everyone who took part.
“We are also proud that, while increasing participant numbers, we’re improving our sustainability initiatives every year and the introduction of our team of ‘ploggers’ this year who collected rubbish throughout the whole route, showed the importance of delivering not just the best marathon but also the greenest marathon in our history.
“Entries for the 2027 Brighton Marathon are open now and we expect the event to be even better again next year so sign up and be part of it.”









A great fun day out.
