Overview
The Seaford Martello Half Marathon is a scenic, but challenging event combining the stunning Seaford seafront with the beautiful South Downs. Organised jointly by Rotary Martello Seaford and Seaford Striders Running Club, this is one the nicest half marathons on the South coast. A tough race, but you won’t be disappointed!

As with last year, to ensure the health and safety of our runners and volunteers, we have a cut off time. You must reach the first water station (which is at approx 4 miles) within one hour. We have chosen this location because it is placed within a reasonable distance to get back to the start. 

We would like to thank our friends at Seaford Striders for their marshal support. 

Running for a Cause
We believe in supporting local charities and organisations - in 2026 any surplus after event expenses will be split equally between Rockinghorse Children's Charity, St Wilfrid's Hospice (Eastbourne) and Rotary Martello Seaford to support local appeals. Rockinghorse Children's Charity raise money to provide live-saving medical equipment and aim to improve the lives of sick children within Sussex. St Wilfrid's Hospice provide support for people with life-limiting illnesses towards the end of their lives. Rotary Martello Seaford supports local causes through community projects, fundraising and volunteer efforts.

Directions

Registration, number collection and bag storage will be available from 08:00 at Seaford Rugby Club in the Salts Recreation Ground (w3w ///hopeless.blanked.undivided).
There are toilets available in the Salts Recreation Ground and additional external toilet provisions have been arranged.

There is ample free parking available on the seafront. However, this will fill up fairly quickly and is another reason to arrive early. In the unlikely event that you cannot find a parking place, there are pay and display car parks in Seaford, the nearest being Richmond Road (BN25 1DB), off Dane Road.

Public Transport: Seaford Railway station and bus stops are only 5 minute walk away from the race.
