Marathon
Sun 17th Apr
Madeira Drive, Brighton
This event is exactly what it says
on the tin - and if you’ve yet to
experience it, then make this the
year! As this goes to press, entries
are still being accepted for runners
who wish to join in on behalf of a
charity; for the rest of us, heading
down to the seafront to cheer on the
runners is quite enough.
