Brighton HM selected for new national Vitality Run Series
We’re delighted to announce that Brighton Half Marathon was today revealed as one of eight races in the brand-new Vitality Run Series, launched today in London’s Battersea Park by London 2012 Olympic Heptathlon Gold Medallist Jessica Ennis-Hill.
Featuring seven of the UK’s leading half marathons and one 10k event during 2014/15, the Vitality Run Series aims to inspire all runners to step up to their next challenge. You can see the other races in the Series below.
Being part of the prestigious Vitality Run Series will help to reinforce Brighton Half Marathon as a headline event in the UK’s growing running calendar.

Being part of a great series of half marathons and 10ks around the UK will really raise its profile nationally and make Brighton Half one of the big races to take part in on the UK running calendar. Whether you are a beginner, charity runner or on the hunt to set a new personal best you will be offered a brilliant racing experience.”
