Brighton is a town located in Sussex on the south coast of Great Britain that has a population of just over 150,000. The annual Brooks Brighton 10K race that takes place in the town is one of the most famous long-distance races in all of England. The race regularly draws runners from all over the British Isles.

Then, the route turns around and the runners go back past the start and continue past the downtown Palace and the West Piers. The route then takes the runners past the iconic Peace Memorial and then to the King Alfred Center. The race concludes along the sea marina, back on Madeira drive.
