The Beachy Head Marathon is one the biggest off-road marathons in the UK. Formerly known as the Seven Sisters Marathon, it is popular for its scenic and challenging route through the South Downs countryside. Great for runners, joggers or walkers looking to get fit.
Congratulations to 2008 winner Stuart Mills who crossed the finish in 3:02, and also to first lady Jackie Hartwell in a formidable 3:41!
