Altra Brighton Half Marathon

The Altra Brighton Half Marathon takes place on 28 February 2027 in Hove, which together with neighbouring Brighton forms the city of Brighton and Hove. The event has a single race, the half marathon (21.1 km), starting at 9:30am.

At the end of February, a half marathon often marks a turning point in the season: it confirms the winter's training and gives a reliable benchmark pace for spring goals. Runners chasing a personal best would do well to ease their training load seven to ten days before, without cutting out faster running altogether. For a first race over the distance, a useful marker is being able to run 16 to 18 km comfortably at an easy pace; the rest comes down to patience over the first five kilometres.
