Brighton Sports Company - Born and Bred Brighton

Welcome to the new Brighton Sports Company website. If you like your events fun, friendly and great value we like to feel we have something for you. Teaming up with The Jog Shop, Brighton’s original running store we have been organising events in Brighton & Hove since the mid 1990’s.

The lead person at Brighton Sports Co is Mark Hedger, a true local to the area, having been born and raised along the coast in Shoreham-by-Sea. For many years Mark was a lifeguard on Brighton Beach and competed in his first triathlon in 1992, when the sport was very much in its infancy. Since then Mark has also competed in 10k’s, half marathons, marathons and swimming events.

Mark then moved in to event management firstly taking on the Brighton Marina Triathlon in 1996 before adding in various events over the years. Mark also worked as a partner on events such as the Sport Relief Mile, Brighton Half Marathon and lots more.

After several years of event organising Mark saw an opportunity for bike hire on Brighton Beach and now owns and manages the shop, Brighton Beach Bikes, which you can find next to Brighton Pier. The bike rental shop is now the main part of Brighton Sports Company, but we also like to continue to offer events.

We continue to work with like minded groups in and around the Brighton & Hove area such as Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club, Seabirds Swimming Group and lots more.

We hope to see you at one of our events in the near future.
