The Maverick Brighton Trail Marathon 2027

Dive into the Maverick Trail to Road Marathon, an exceptional race that artfully combines the rugged allure of the South Downs with the electric finale of Brighton’s marathon scene. Your journey begins at Stanmer Park, enveloping you in its verdant splendor and winding woodland paths as soon as you set foot on the trail.
As you venture deeper into this unspoiled natural beauty, the race transforms into an off-road odyssey along dramatic chalk ridgelines, sweeping valleys, and rustic country trails. Each mile unfolds with a new vista of breathtaking views, while challenging terrains keep your heart racing in anticipation of what lies ahead.
The highlight comes as you join the Brighton Marathon course at Hove Lawns, becoming one of the first marathons to merge seamlessly between trail and tarmac. With thousands of fellow road runners closing ranks behind you, the vibrant atmosphere surges with each step towards the finish line. The cheering spectators amplify your sense of achievement, immersing you in a celebratory ambiance as you cross the final threshold.
This race transcends conventional formats by juxtaposing solo explorations on winding trails against the communal exuberance found at city marathons. It’s an immersive journey that highlights how these two worlds converge for one spectacular day.
