Event Day
How old do I have to be to take part?
You must be aged 18 years or over on Event Day (Sunday 12 April 2026) to take part in this event.
Where does the Brighton Marathon take place?
Joining Team Target
I got my own place through the ballot. Can I still join Team Target?
Yes, we would love for you to join our team and you'll receive the same support as someone who is running with a charity place.
There is no minimum fundraising target - we just hope you'll raise as much as you can!
Please note, we do ask for proof of your own place to avoid confusion or disappointment.
Race Pack
When will I receive my race pack?
The event organisers will be sending your race pack two weeks before the event. This will contain your all-important Race Number and Timing Chip.
If you don’t live in the UK, you will need to collect your Event Pack from a city centre location (Date and Location TBC)
When will I receive my charity running top?
Whether you requested a running vest or t-shirt, we'll post this to you approximately one month before the event.
When will I receive my iron-on letters?
Separately from your running top, we'll post your iron-on letters to you approximately one month before the event.
Fundraising
How does my fundraising help?
Your support makes all the difference to ensure that we can continue working to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide support to women with ovarian cancer.
£50 could give 50 people the right symptom information, making sure they access support as early as possible.
£70 could update training for 10 GPs on ovarian cancer symptoms and best practice for early diagnosis.
£125 could pay for half a day of ground-breaking medical research to find more effective treatments for the future.
How do I get started with my fundraising?
Once you have completed your registration with us, your charity fundraising page is automatically created for you. We would highly recommend personalising your page with a profile photo, your reason for supporting us and then sharing this with your family, friends, colleagues and on social media.
Our dedicated team are here to support you every step of the way, so please get in touch if there is anything that you need. We can chat through any ideas that you might have for fundraising, such as holding an event or raffle.
