The report sought approval to grant London Marathon Events a 3+2 year licence to deliver the Brighton Marathon from 2023 to 2027. The proposal aimed to preserve existing 2023 runner and charity entries following the impending administration of Grounded Events, while allowing the Council to negotiate cost recovery and wider benefits.
Outcome
approved
Recommendation
Grant London Marathon Events a licence to deliver a marathon in the city for 3+2 years from 2023 to 2027, subject to negotiation of the licence terms; note eligibility for Brighton and Hove area funding from the London Marathon Charitable Trust; and authorise the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture to negotiate and agree the formal licence agreement.
Financial impact
The Council is likely to lose approximately £150,000 as a creditor of Grounded Events. If agreed, London Marathon Events indicated that the licence could secure approximately £1.1 million in individual and charity payments for the 2023 marathon, although this was not verified. Facilities grants from the London Marathon Charitable Trust may be available up to £250,000 per bid.
