Rockwater Hove has announced that anybody that finishes the race will be able to claim a free drink.
In a post on social media, the restaurant and bar said: “For any of you brave enough to take on 13.1 miles on Sunday in the Brighton Half Marathon, show your medal after the race and get a pint of Rockwater lager or glass of Prosecco on us.”
The 13.1 mile race begins at 9am on Madeira Drive before runners pass a host of landmarks including the Brighton Palace Pier, Royal Pavilion and Brighton Marina.
Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes MBE has been announced as the race starter.
“Seeing mass participation events back to their best is fantastic,” she said. “It has motivated me to get back training and run it too.
“So, my plan is to start the race off, jump down and get involved. I will not be racing - just enjoying the atmosphere."
More than ten city centre roads will be closed due to the event.
