Marathon runners are needed to raise funds for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance this year.

The life-saving service has places in both the Brighton Marathon and the Virtual London Marathon, as it seeks to hit its annual fundraising target of £15m.

“These events make a huge difference to our fundraising,” says Helene Poursain, Director of Fundraising and Events at KSS, “and I want to thank everyone who has supported us in the past and who has already signed up to be part of Team KSS this year.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you are an experienced marathon runner or challenging yourself for the first time, Team KSS will be delighted to welcome you this year and we will be here to support you in your training and also on the big day.”

The Brighton Marathon Weekend takes place on the 10-12 September, with places available in the marathon and two cycle rides. The Virtual London Marathon takes place on 3 October, with 50,000 virtual runners joining the 50,000 participants who will complete the famous London course on the day.
