Participant information

The Brighton Miles is an event for everyone, not just children and young people!

The event is split into a series of ‘waves’ which run from 10:15 to 14:00 and offer children-only miles, family-miles and community-specific miles. Every finisher will receive a souvenir Brighton Miles medal.

Miles specifically designed to make the event more inclusive are among the offering for 2025. These include the Welcome Wave, which is more inclusive for participants with disabilities and participants who are neurodivergent, and a Walk and Talk Wave for people who don’t want to run or jog but still want to take part. 

We want everyone at Brighton Miles to enjoy the experience of taking part in a mass participation event. There will be strong spectator support around the course and at the Finish, where a Brighton Miles medal will be waiting for each participant!

After the Finish Line, any children or young people who took part without a parent or guardian will be taken to the repatriation zone. Here, a parent or guardian with a corresponding identifier to the participant's bib number will collect them.

As a responsible adult for a child participant, you remain responsible for their whereabouts and behaviour at all times. We will, however, ensure that marshals and stewards who come in direct contact with the children are DBS checked.

The course is also fully enclosed and marshalled, and parents can see the entire course from inside the Brighton Miles Village.

We will have a lost person notification point, which will beat the Information Point within the Brighton Miles Village. Please report tothis area if you have lost a child – and please ask them to head here if they cannot find you.
