Thousands of runners are gearing up for Brighton Marathon - and this is your chance to leave them good luck messages.

Leave your messages below and we will publish as many as possible in Saturday's Argus.

Don't miss The Argus for full coverage of the marathon.

All this week we will carry a range of stories culminating in a full preview in Saturday's paper with a map of the route, weather forecast, road closures and the best places for spectators to stand.

During the race, we will have pictures, videos and updates with a picture gallery of runners and the crowd.

We will also be running a live blog online at theargus.co.uk.

You can text pictures and videos to 80360 with the catchline SUPIC or email pictures to news@theargus.co.uk The Argus press gang will be at Hove Lawns with goody bags and free posters so you can write good luck messages to runners.

We will be publishing a picture special on Monday followed by a list of the full results on Tuesday. You can buy any of the pictures of the marathon by calling 01273 544526 or 01273 544544 or email pictures@theargus.co.uk.
