The 2027 Brighton Marathon is on Sunday 4 April 2027. It starts in Preston Park and is part of the Brighton Marathon Weekend on 3 and 4 April, which also includes the Brighton Miles and the Brighton and Hove 10K. London Marathon Events organises the weekend and expects up to 20,000 participants across the three events.

General entry for the 2027 marathon is already sold out, according to the official site. That leaves charity places as the main way to get a bib. The official Run for Charity page lists charities you can apply to, and runners who get a place receive fundraising support, a personalised Enthuse fundraising page and whatever extra benefits their charity offers.

The organisers publish a full list of charities with 2027 Brighton Marathon places, and it is long. It includes national names like British Heart Foundation and Macmillan, as well as many smaller causes such as Rockinghorse Children's Charity, Chailey Heritage Foundation and Grassroots Suicide Prevention. If you would rather support a smaller charity, there is a lot to choose from.

Brighton does not set one fundraising minimum. Each charity sets its own fee and target, and they vary. For 2027, The Natalie Kate Moss Trust and Grassroots Suicide Prevention both ask for a 400 pound target with free registration, Rockinghorse asks for 400 pounds with a 25 pound fee, and Sarcoma UK asks for a 500 pound pledge with a 40 pound fee. Places are limited and some charities have already closed applications for 2027, so contact a charity soon if it appeals to you.

Listings are added by the charities themselves. Board updated Nov 14, 2026, 2:30 AM UTC.

How the Brighton Marathon charity program works

Brighton Marathon charity places are offered by individual charities, and the organiser, London Marathon Events, publishes the full list of charities with 2027 places. You apply through the charity you choose. Runners get fundraising support, a personalised Enthuse page and charity-specific benefits. Each charity sets its own registration fee and fundraising target.

When charities take applications
General entry for 2027 is sold out. Charity places stay open until each charity fills its allocation, and no single closing date is published.
Race entry fee
Set by each charity. For 2027, examples range from free registration (The Natalie Kate Moss Trust, Grassroots Suicide Prevention) to a 45 pound fee (Chailey Heritage Foundation).

Missed the lottery? How charity spots work

Big marathons like the Brighton Marathon give a set number of entries to charities. A charity offers its entries to runners who agree to raise a minimum amount for its cause. You apply with the charity on its own website, and the charity decides who runs for it.

Each charity sets its own fundraising minimum, deadline and requirements, shown in the listings above exactly as the charity provided them. Check the details with the charity and the official race website before you commit.

Brighton Marathon charity entry questions

Is Brighton Marathon 2027 sold out?

Yes. The official site says general entry for 2027 is sold out. You can still get a place by applying to one of the charities that have 2027 Brighton Marathon places.

How much do I need to raise for a Brighton Marathon charity place?

It depends on the charity. For 2027, published targets include 400 pounds for The Natalie Kate Moss Trust, Grassroots Suicide Prevention and Rockinghorse, and 500 pounds for Sarcoma UK and Chailey Heritage Foundation. Registration fees also vary, from free to 45 pounds in these examples.

Is there a ballot for the Brighton Marathon?

The official Brighton Marathon Weekend pages do not mention a ballot. They say general entry for 2027 is sold out and point runners to charity places instead.
