Eventrac, a specialist online sports event management software organisation, will provide race registration, management and marketing solutions to support one of the biggest off-road marathons in the UK, the Beachy Head Marathon.
The Beachy Head Marathon features a challenging but scenic route through the South Downs National Park countryside in Southern England. The event includes a marathon, half marathon and 10K route; and for 2022 also sees the new addition of an ultramarathon, with a total distance of approximately 52 kilometres.
Entries to the ultramarathon are limited to just 200 spaces and due to the challenging nature of the race, will only be accepted from runners that have previously completed a marathon within 5 hours.
“We’re delighted The Beachy Head Marathon chose to use our software to deliver and develop this awesome event,” said Mark Davis, Partnerships Manager at Eventrac. “It’s a privilege to be part of the team delivering this epic race because it’s on so many runners’ bucket list.”
Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Cabinet Member for Tourism & Culture, Margaret Bannister said “The Beachy Head Marathon continues to be one of the most popular off-road marathons in the UK, and, following on from the successful introduction of the half marathon in 2020, we are thrilled to announce the brand new ultramarathon route this year giving the opportunity to more runners of all abilities to enjoy racing in this picturesque setting.
“Set against the stunning backdrop of Eastbourne, the South Downs and our coastline, it’s unsurprising so many runners are keen to take part. I also hope those travelling to Eastbourne to take part in this event will extend their stay to enjoy all that our wonderful town has to offer.”
The Beachy Head Marathon, Ultramarathon and 10K will take place on Saturday 22 October, with the Half Marathon to follow on Sunday 23 October.
