Brighton Marathon Weekend – 10km Sunday 7th April 2024

On Sunday 7th April, our wonderful runners Karen and Darren Peart completed the Brighton 10K to raise funds for the Zambia Society Trust. Here's Karen's report:

"In blustery conditions on the south coast, 3000 runners set off between 08.45 and 09.00 for a linear run along the seafront with a wee excursion via Brighton Pavillion and the pavement cafes along St James Street. Steel bands accompanied us to keep the spirits up and the legs pumping. My watch told me that I was in for taking 2/3 minutes off my previous 10km in Milton Keynes back in 2021 if I could keep up the pace. I was spurred on by Darren being at 9km (and at the finish) shouting encouragement. Thank you to all for donating and supporting this excellent cause. I have really enjoyed the training and am delighted to have achieved this fitness goal."

Karen and Darren have already raised over £1300 for the Trust, but their fundraising page will stay open until the end of this month so it's not too late if you would like to show your support for them:
