The 2006 Half Marathon...
review
It was cold, wet, windy and grey... hardly the most inviting of mornings to be setting out on a 13 mile run... but a record 3,122 people rose to the challenge in what was Brighton's biggest half marathon on record! The Sussex Beacon Half Marathon is fast becoming one of the biggest dates in any serious runner's diary.
This year the usual figure-of-eight course along the seafront was slightly amended, with runners coming out of Madeira Drive, into the Old Steine, past The Royal Pavilion, up Church Street, down New Street and Ship Street back onto the seafront to continue up to Hove, back down to the Pier, up Marine Parade to Rottingdean and back down again. Phew! It's exhausting just typing up the course details.... With driving rain and a very close atmosphere it really did prove a challenging course for the runners this year.
The event was a huge success and early indications show a fundraising total of over £80,000 for the Sussex Beacon.
