Travel

Don’t wait until the morning of the event to decide how you will get to the Start at Stanmer Park, make sure you’ve planned your journey in advance. 

If you are coming from out of town and planning to stay the weekend, please also be sure to book accommodation in advance as the local hotels and hostels book up very quickly.

Please note we have arranged for participants to receive FREE bus tickets on the day for two routes – please see below for details.

As a guardian of a Brighton Trail Kids participant, you may wish to use this car park to get to your runner’s start line in Stanmer Park (please note you do not start at East Brighton Park with the marathon runners). The walk from the car park is roughly 20 minutes.

Buses & Free Bus Passes for Participants

Participants will be emailed a bus pass that is valid for 1 person on Sunday 26th June.

This pass MUST be shown to the driver upon boarding.
