Kenward Trust Launches Brighton Marathon 2027 Charity Places
Kenward Trust is delighted to announce that registration is now open for supporters who would like to run the Brighton Marathon 2027 as part of Team Kenward.
With just five charity places available, this is an opportunity to take on one of the UK's most iconic marathon events while raising vital funds to support people affected by addiction.
Brighton Marathon is renowned for its fast coastal route, incredible atmosphere and thousands of supporters lining the streets. Every mile completed for Team Kenward will help people move towards recovery, stability and a healthier future.

Earlier this year, Libby and Bel proudly represented Team Kenward at the Brighton Marathon, raising an incredible £1,691.
Their connection to Kenward Trust is deeply personal. After years of trying to help their brother overcome addiction, their family was introduced to Kenward Trust at a time when recovery felt out of reach.
Reflecting on their family's journey, Libby said:
"Sitting next to the hospital bed of our brother was a reality we never thought we'd face. After five years of failed interventions, recovery for Will and keeping our family together both felt out of reach.
That was until a nurse directed us to Kenward Trust and saved our brother's life.
Kenward Trust helped our brother and us as a family see that each day we make a choice. For Will, that choice was to always choose himself, to choose his life, to choose his future. Making positive choices can not only lead you away from dark places but more importantly lead you towards bright ones – Kenward Trust was our bright place."
Following their marathon achievement, Libby and Bel reflected on the challenge:
"It was hard, exhilarating, exhausting and very emotional… but we did it."
Their journey was about far more than completing 26.2 miles. It was about raising awareness, reducing stigma and helping more people access support.
