RunThrough, the UK’s largest and Europe’s fastest growing running events organiser, is excited to announce the Nuun BRIGHTON TEN, featuring a FREE Road Closed 5K, set to take place on Sunday, 8th June, 2025. Made possible by the RunThrough Foundation, this special initiative continues its mission of promoting active lifestyles by breaking down barriers to entry and fostering diversity in running.
Matt Wood, Co-Founder of RunThrough, said: “At RunThrough, our mission is clear—encouraging everyone to embrace the benefits of running for physical and mental wellbeing. The FREE RunThrough Foundation 5K at the Nuun BRIGHTON TEN is more than just a race; it’s about giving first-time runners and those who’ve never experienced official events a welcoming, supportive environment to start their running journey while breaking down barriers to entry.”
Following successful events at the Warrington Running Festival 2023 and the LONDON TEN 2024, the RunThrough Foundation proudly presents its third free event. Designed to inspire first-time runners and enhance diversity within the running community, this accessible 5K aims to help participants overcome common barriers and contribute towards building a healthier, more active nation.

The Nuun BRIGHTON TEN Route
Both the 5K and the 10-mile events follow a stunning, flat course, starting along Madeira Drive, looping inland around The Level, then returning along the picturesque seafront via Kingsway Road and Hove Lagoon. Participants will finish on the scenic promenade, with spectacular views of Brighton Pier and the surrounding beaches—perfect for a celebratory dip in the sea afterward!
Runners can look forward to enthusiastic support from a friendly team of marshals and a lively event village offering plenty of food, warm coffee, and post-race goodies from event partners.
