Paula Radcliffe to open Brighton Marathon
Three-time London Marathon winner Paula Radcliffe and Paralympic gold medallist David Weir are the official starters of this year’s Brighton Marathon weekend.
Radcliffe, who set a new world record for the London marathon in 2003, will signal the start of the race in East Sussex on 7 April.
She said the start of a marathon was “inspirational” and conveyed “the warmth, empathy and power of the marathon family”.
Brighton Miles, an accessible running event on 6 April, will be launched by wheelchair athlete Weir.
About 13,000 people are expected to run in this year’s Brighton Marathon, which is now in its 15th year.
“I’m delighted to be coming back to Brighton to start the 2024 Brighton Marathon,” said Radcliffe, who is an ambassador for Children with Cancer UK.
Weir praised the inclusivity of the Brighton Miles event, saying: “No matter your age, ability or disability, the Brighton Miles is for you.”
Entries for the Brighton Miles and the 10k are still available, however the Brighton Marathon is sold out.
