Run to the Sea Brighton 2026
Run to the Sea Brighton is a point-to-point 50k ultramarathon from Christ's Hospital School in Horsham to Brighton. The route uses a mix of trails and roads with undulating elevation. The first half follows the Downs Link and is relatively flat and runnable. Around the midpoint the course climbs onto the South Downs, passing Devil's Dyke, Saddlescombe Farm and Newtimber Hill. The final section is mostly downhill into Brighton, finishing on the seafront and through the town's streets.
The event package includes a bespoke finisher's medal, fully signed course and downloadable GPS route files. There are four feed stations spaced at roughly 10 km intervals; visiting each checkpoint is mandatory. Medical support, toilets at start, midway and finish, and a bag drop for small bags are provided. Athletes may arrange to have personal food delivered to feed stations 3 and 4. The race is listed as a UTMB index event and offers free downloadable photos. An optional shuttle bus runs from Hove Lawns to the start. Public transport access is available via Christs Hospital Station, and parking at the school is limited while parking near the finish is paid.
