The GBR Run Bexhill Remembrance Run 2026

In 2025, over five hundred runners joined forces to honor military veterans during one of the most revered annual events in the Sussex running calendar — GBR Run's Remembrance Multi-Distance Race. Set along the picturesque coastline of Sussex, this out-and-back course offers a blend of scenic beauty and competitive challenge.
As participants embark on routes that parallel the rolling waves and stretch across sandy beaches, they are not only pushed to their athletic limits but also reminded of those who have served in defense of our nation. The ideal weather conditions often seen at race time ensure fast times can be achieved by runners from all levels, creating a unique atmosphere where competition meets celebration.
The event recognizes leading finishers with prizes and offers additional awards based on age categories, fostering camaraderie among participants united by their respect for those who have fallen in the line of duty. Every runner is greeted at the finish line not just with applause but also an exclusive bespoke medal symbolizing dedication to this meaningful cause.
Young athletes aged 14 or under are invited to join a special Youth Mile event, designed to inspire and engage future generations while providing them access to the same scenic course enjoyed by adult competitors. This dedicated youth race ensures inclusivity across all ages, making every participant feel valued.
Organized with meticulous attention to detail according to licensing regulations, each kilometer is accurately measured for fair competition among runners of varying age brackets. The GBR Run team's commitment extends beyond racing logistics as part proceeds from entries are allocated directly towards supporting military charities selected annually by the organizers. In 2025 alone, this initiative raised over £1000 specifically aiding in fundraising efforts for The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
Join us once again during autumn to commemorate those who have served our nation with respect and gratitude through sport. Your participation makes a difference not only on an individual level but also collectively supports veterans nationwide as we come together to celebrate national heroes while making a lasting impact within the community.
This year promises yet another memorable experience, celebrating traditions that honor both past service members and future leaders in athletics alike.
