At Brighton Girls, we are proud to be sponsors of the Brighton Miles, a fantastic event that brings together young runners from across the city to celebrate confidence, resilience and community.

If your child is taking part, there are a few simple ways you can help them feel prepared, confident and ready to enjoy Saturday:

  • Encourage them to run at their own pace
    Every child’s experience will be different, remind them that taking part and finishing is what matters most.
  • Help them fuel well
    A balanced meal the night before and a good breakfast on race morning (such as porridge or toast) will help maintain energy levels.
  • Keep them hydrated
    Make sure they drink water throughout the day, but avoid drinking too much just before the race.
  • Arrive in good time
    Giving yourselves plenty of time before the start will help your child feel calm and prepared. Our students will also be leading the warm-ups on the day, helping everyone get ready.
  • Focus on enjoyment, not pressure
    A positive, encouraging mindset can make all the difference, celebrate their effort, whatever the outcome.

We are looking forward to cheering on all the runners and being part of such a positive and inspiring community event.
