Meet Past Marathon Heroes

“Running the Brighton Marathon for LDN London was one of the best experiences of my life! Not only did I achieve a personal goal, but I also raised over £750 to help individuals with learning disabilities get the support they need. The atmosphere was incredible, and knowing I was making a difference kept me going when things got tough!”

— Sarah, 2024 Brighton Marathon finisher
