Brighton Half Marathon are proud to announce the launch of the app for the 2012 race, available through Apple for iphone, ipad and ipod touch. This new app lets you register for the race, find a charity to run for, find out about volunteering and training plans, watch informative videos and be interactive on the half marathon’s social media channels.
In its 22nd year, the Brighton Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 19th February 2012 with an increased number of 10,000 runners’ places for the Olympic year. The Brighton Half Marathon is one of the longest established and most popular seafront road race events in the UK, the first major half marathon of the new year and perfectly suited as a warm up for all the spring marathons. The new flatter, faster route from 2011, mostly along the seafront, received a lot of praise and positive feedback from runners with lots of new PBs achieved.
This new app, developed in partnership with Trustco Media Services, makes it even easier to register, be a part of and train with the Brighton Half Marathon. Trustco Media Services are the Official App Partner for the Brighton Half Marathon 2012.
The framework of the app is universal, working on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices, with the content optimised for iphone and retina displays. With it being a native app it also has got the potential to include and use the iOS features from devices.
"We are very excited about our new app launching, we are a community-driven race and this will allow us to be even closer to our runners as well as attract new runners. We have really enjoyed working with Trustco Media Services to develop the app and look forward to seeing the various features being used by our runners." commented Becky Stevens, Race Director.
