Local drag queen Sonia Marmite aka Paul Brown ran his first half marathon today.
He finished the course in two hours, thirty three minutes and twenty seconds. Paul who was running to raise money for the Sussex Beacon announced he would run the race wearing a wedding dress if he received more than £500 in sponsorship pledges. He past his total and took to the streets of Brighton today demurely, dressed as ‘Sonia the bride’ in full make up, wig, veil, white short dress and a flower bouquet.
Due to health and safety regulations he had to run in trainers rather than the fabulous pair of Prada booties he had planned to run in.
