Get your running shoes on for the Sussex Beacon!

Running is good for us; running for charity is even better! The Brighton Half Marathon is one of the biggest events in the city’s calendar and the Sussex Beacon want YOU to join them as an exclusive runner and fundraiser for
#TeamBeacon on Sunday, February 27!

Each year the Brighton Half Marathon raises vital funds, ensuring we can continue to support people living with HIV in Sussex. Join us in 2022 for our 30th birthday and help us raise the most money yet!

Our runners have helped us since the race was founded, raising funds and representing people living with HIV at one of Brighton & Hove’s biggest events.

In 2021, #TeamBeacon helped us to raise an incredible record amount of £50,000, the most the half marathon has raised yet. By joining our team, you could help the Sussex Beacon raise even more for our 30th Birthday.

Our celebrity runner this year is Zoe Lyons, a comedian known for her appearances on Survivor and Mock The Week.

We are delighted to announce that sponsoring #TeamBeacon this year will be the Sussex Freemasons.

The Sussex Freemasons have been long-term supporters of the Sussex Beacon and we are extremely thankful for their continued assistance and sponsorship.

In addition we would like to thank long term friend of the Sussex Beacon Andrew Buchan of Glencairn Consulting Limited. Andrew has been a continuous backer of #TeamBeacon. We would not be where we are now without that support and we are forever grateful for his support over many years.

• Refreshments, hot food, and toilets only for our runners.

• Exclusive family cheering point.

Tom Oakden has brought a group of runners to Team Beacon for the last five years, and here’s why: “I decided to run for the Sussex Beacon as have some friends who have been served so excellently by you. To be available 365 days of
the year, helping serve people in real need, I find it a privilege to be fundraising to support that, for our city.

“Sponsorship is so much more than raising money. There’s much opportunity to bring awareness that the Beacon is simply there, what you do, your history, and the reality of the needs that you serve. So many people seem to have an affection to the Sussex Beacon, a lot from personal association which is a brilliant encouragement.”
