Run a Marathon in the Olympic Year

28 November 2011

We are searching for enthusiastic fundraisers ready to take on a personal challenge to join our team in the Brighton Marathon 2012.

The Bromley by Bow Centre is excited to offer runners the chance to take part in the Brighton Marathon in the Olympic Year. Building on the huge success of the last two years, the 2012 Brighton Marathon is set to be the biggest yet. This is a marathon with a difference starting in the beautiful Preston Park you will head into the vibrant city centre, passing Brighton’s iconic attractions, on coastal roads boasting breathtaking views. This unrivalled course is lined with cheering supporters promising an energetic festival atmosphere.

“It has been my pleasure to run the Brighton Marathon in aid of the Bromley by Bow Centre in 2010 and 2011, raising nearly £2000 in the process. The Centre has supported me in my training for both years, and running for a smaller charity really enabled me to get a really good feel for the excellent work that they do through tours of the centre and the excellent lunch provided! If you’re thinking of running Brighton this year, do it! It is a great day out and the atmosphere is amazing, and the sense of achievement when you cross the line is fantastic. I’m planning to run again next year, so maybe I’ll see you on the start line?” Alex Thornton, Brighton Marathon Runner 2010, 2011 and 2012

The Brighton Marathon has, over the past two years, become a crucial fundraiser for the Bromley by Bow Centre. Last year our runners raised an amazing £5,500 which has enabled the Centre to continue to work with over 2000 families, adults and young people each week to learn new skills, improve their mental and physical health, find employment and start their own business.

Marathons have been considered one of the most challenging events in Olympic athletics but today many from different backgrounds, of different ages and with differing fitness levels undertake this challenge to raise money for charitable causes - Make 2012 the year you take on this Olympian running challenge for the Bromley by Bow Centre.
