In 2014 the Brighton Half Marathon was named as one the eight events in the Vitality Run Series alongside the Liverpool Half Marathon, Reading Half Marathon, Oxford Half Marathon, Bath Half Marathon, North London Half Marathon, Hackney Half Marathon and British 10k London Run.

On 31 March 2017 it was announced that the course used for the 2015–2017 races was 146 metres (0.09 mi) short of the full distance and that the times of the runners in the three races are likely to be expunged from official records.[1] [2] This came after the organisers had previously apologised for the course being 0.32 miles too long in 2012.[3]

gollark: It's a feature, allegedly.
gollark: There isn't one which works sensibly and is actually short and easy to express and work with. Human values are complicated and often inconsistent.
gollark: You could have *most* things work causally but just hardcode a rule which lets me have time machines.
