We support all of our runners with a running t-shirt and a fundraising pack. Plus there’s always a friendly person on the end of the phone to offer advice and encouragement. On the day we’re there to cheer you on, and then come and recover in our post-race marquee. Enjoy some food and drink and celebrate your achievement with other runners in our team. 

We want you to join our team! If you already have a place and want to fundraise for us, get in touch with us now.

The Brighton Marathon 2013 is now open for early bird entry. If you have secured your own place and would like to fundraise for us, please click on the Got A Place button on the left hand side. Keep posted for details of how you can secure a charity place. 

A great way to boost your fundraising if you're doing a sponsored event is to raise money online.

Setting up an online giving page with JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving is a great way to raise money, enabling people to sponsor you really easily. All you need to do is visit the site, select Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as your charity and then create your page. You can then personalise it with photos and messages and send the link to everyone you know.

Use social networking websites

A great way to increase awareness of your event is to add details to your social networking site; be it Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. It's even possible now to link these sites directly to your online giving page, making it even simpler for people to donate. Another way to inspire people, and raise awareness, is to blog about how your preparation is going. If people see the amount of time you're committing, and why you're doing your event, then they'll be more likely to dig deep!

Email your family and friends

Target your most generous supporters first. People tend to match the amounts already listed on the page.

Be persistent

Try re-sending the link to your page one week before the event to get some last minute sponsors. Then send it one more time once you've done the event - it's never too late!

Raise money while you shop

If you shop online, you can raise money for us simply by signing up with easyfundraising. Visit your favourite online retailers through this site and they will donate a percentage of your purchase to us at no extra cost to you!
