The backstory
The Brighton Marathon Weekend was established in 2010
The event began with the Brighton Marathon and a free children's event, both of which have been held annually, except in 2020 when they were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2014, the BM10K was added to the weekend lineup.
In December 2022, London Marathon Events took over the organisation. The events were rebranded in 2023, introducing a new look and feel, and the Mini Mile was renamed the Brighton Miles, now open to all ages. In 2024, the 10K event was renamed the Brighton & Hove 10K.
