Fancy dress challenge

On Sunday the 18th of April the first ever Brighton Marathon will be taking place, the Quest4Change team is looking strong with Paul, Tom, Scott and Josh already training hard to raise much need funds for our projects in Africa and South America. To add an extra twist to the Marathon running theme the Brighton Marathon have just announced that they will be holding an official Fancy Dress Competition.

From the Brighton Marathon: For those of you who are intending to turn out on race day in something fancier than a vest and shorts, here’s a further incentive to go that extra yard.

If you are planning to run in a fancy dress outfit, then on race morning at the start in Preston Park, there will be an opportunity for you to have a pre-race photo taken; this will act as your initial registration in the “Brighton Marathon Fancy Dress Competition”. However, your actual “entry” in to the competition is only confirmed when you finish the race in your costume!

Upon completion of the race in your costume we will have three judges on hand to select the three prize winners. There will be a presentation later in the day and cash prizes for a charity of your choice.

We still have one place left in the Brighton Marathon, so if you want to join our fab team contact Heather now to find out more.

These race events always bring out some of the very best costumes money can buy, but before you do buy speak to someone at the fancy dress costumes shop and explain to them what you are doing and more often than not you will get a discount on your costume or you will get sponsorship money. Be cheeky, you have nothing to lose!
