Run for Team Chestnut and make every step count For The Now!

Starting and finishing on Madeira Drive just east of the famous Brighton Pier, the route takes in the best of the city centre as well as fabulous stretches of coastal road. You’re guaranteed a picturesque view and an amazing atmosphere.

There are two ways to take part in this exciting event:

Chestnut Tree House charity entry

You can apply for a Chestnut Tree House charity place through the Brighton Half Marathon website.  There is a registration fee of £35.50, which goes to the race organisers, and then all we ask is for a minimum sponsorship pledge of £200 to be raised within a month after the event.

Run with your own place

If you’ve already got your own place in the 2018 Brighton Half Marathon you can still join our team. Call us on 01903 706355 or Email us today or fill out an enquiry form where you can also apply for our other running events.

£651 will allow a child to spend a night at Chestnut Tree House, where they will receive specialist care and symptom management from our nursing team and be able to enjoy the facilities which the hospice offers
