2026 Brighton Marathon

Join #TeamRaystede and take part in the Brighton Marathon to help injured and unwanted animals in need!

Run along the glorious seafront and cross the finish line at the iconic Madeira Drive in front of cheering spectators, just in time for an ice cream by Brighton Pier.

This popular 26.2 mile route takes you through one of Britain's most beautiful cities and is renowned for its buzzing atmosphere, crowd support and personal bests - this is a marathon for every runner's bucket list!

Please note, our charity places for 2026 are now full, but you can still run for Raystede with your own place. Or, join our wait list and we'll let you know if a place becomes available.

By taking part, you will receive:

• A fundraising pack
• A personalised Raystede running vest - proudly show off that you're part of #TeamRaystede
• Support leading up to the event
• Tips and advice to help you achieve your fundraising target
• A dedicated cheer point to keep you motivated during the event

General entry place runners: Did you secure your own place? Set your own fundraising target and we’ll support you in all the ways above and send you a vest after you’ve received your first donation on your JustGiving page.

The difference your money makes...

• £150 could pay for essential supplements for our equines for a month.

• £300 helps buy a month's worth of bedding for our aviaries.

• £600 could cover the cost of caring for a dog at Raystede for a week.
