Brighton Marathon 2011

Its silly the amounts are so high, that must put people off

I do agree. That's why I went direct.

Mind you, I surprised myself in that I raised £900 simply by emailing friends and relatives, and yet only one person sponsored me over £25!!
A bit of knocking on doors, writing to corporations etc and I might easily have doubled that.

Yeah i got 500 with out really trying.

I dont understand the thinking, 3 x 500 is the same as 1 x 1500 plus they get more advertising.

Just a quick bounce for those interested in running it next year. They've listened to feedback and plan on making some small, appropriate changes.

I honestly think Brighton will take it's place as a proper big name race in years to come, especially if they're ever confident enough to move the timing out of London's shadow.

Beat me too it, i was going to post that this morning.

Im glad they have addressed the main point of shoreham harbour.

Also, i can believe non runners where using the toilets before the race.....

My only concern is that they do need to widen the course in the first part of the race, as it could be a nightmare with anything more than 10,000 runners.

Not sure they could? unless they change the course slightly or stagger the starts.
