Brighton 10K
Brighton 10K is a flat 10K in Brighton, UK, held each November. The organiser describes a fast, flat course on wide, smooth seafront roads. It starts on Hove Promenade, runs east past the Palace Pier to a 3 km out-and-back on Madeira Drive, then returns to Hove. Mid-November on the Sussex coast is typically cool and breezy, around 6 to 12°C, with a chance of wind off the sea. The Brighton 10K's flat profile means your pacing discipline, not the terrain, decides the day.
