The Saucony Stanmer Park Races will take place on Sunday 26th June 2011 in the scenic grounds of Stanmer Park, 3.5 miles north east of Brighton city centre.

This new event is being organised by The Grounded Events Company, the organisation behind the Brighton Marathon.

The race programme comprises an 8km run on grassland and woodland trail, a 1 km family run on grass, and a series of 2km races on grass for children in different age categories. The programme also includes two elite 5-mile races featuring some of Britain’s top distance runners competing against Brighton's young up-and-coming stars.

Northern Flags will be responsible for producing all street branding along with flags, correx and PVC banners.  Some of the past events that the group have been  responsible or include The Manchester Commonwealth Games, The Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and The Athens Olympics.

Events Manager Stuart Maclaren said “It is great that we can be part of this event in its early stages. With more than 4000 people expected to take part in the events throughout the day it should be a great family occasion”

There will be a number of special 'spot' prizes including free tickets to the Elton John concert at Sussex County Ground in Brighton on the evening of 26th June -   these will be awarded to race participants in addition to prizes given to race winners.
