Where's the London - Brighton run

Post by jameswallace »

Does anyone know what happened to the London to Brighton run this year ? I've been looking for info on this and haven't been able to find any.

I believe Brighton Council were making unreasonable demands for security. That's why it didn't happen.

Minors have a reputation for attracting a rough crowd.....

I think that, due to the unreasonable costs (parking on Madeira Drive and particularly Brighton and Hove council's insistence on 'Security') The Surrey and Hants Border Branch made very little money for their chosen charities.

It was offered to anyone else who wanted a go, but sadly the 25th run appears to have been the final one. :(
Happy Minoring!
