Beside the seaside

Just when you’ve had your fill of static events, along comes the annual London to Brighton fun run to liven things up. Paul Knight headed into the Breeze…

First, we should point out this is a pre-booked affair as it involves a great deal of logistical planning to marshal the run itself and the limited parking on Brighton’s Madeira Drive, so you can’t just roll up unannounced and expect to join in the fun.

However, while it’s technically a one-day affair (October 5 this year), it’s possible to make it a three-day weekender if you want to. Allow us to explain. The official event departs from Hook Road Arena in Epsom at 8.30am on the Saturday, but you can pre-book camping for the Friday night if you wish.
