Brighton Running Festival

Decker Park serves as the center for the Brighton Running Festival. Runners depart along the waterfront, heading toward Shorncliffe Pier on a course suited for steady endurance and swift performances. It offers a relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere where dedicated runners are "chasing a personal best," while families can participate in the day's events through the Family Dash. The course is noted as a "flat and fast course along the waterfront," indicating open stretches rather than intricate terrain, with the finish line situated within the event's lively atmosphere. Families attend, volunteers maintain the event's momentum, and finishers receive a 2026 Brighton-themed medal, post-race refreshments, sponsor gifts, and an online finisher's certificate. Even those not running can contribute, as the call for volunteers states: "Join the Race Day Fun – No Running Required!"
