Keeping the Brighton Marathon Moving
Rivervale is proud to be the official vehicle partner of the Brighton Marathon Weekend, a role we have embraced since 2024. Our journey with the event began in 2023 as the commercial vehicle partner, and since then, we’ve helped keep Brighton’s biggest running event moving. From setup to de-rig, road closures to on-course support, Rivervale provides the essential vehicles that make race weekend happen.
This year, we’re excited to showcase some incredible vehicles on the course, including Tesla cars and electric MAXUS vans, helping to reduce emissions and support cleaner air across Brighton. Thanks to our relationship with Tesla UK, we’re also bringing a Cyber Quad to the Brighton Marathon Event Village on Hove Lawns and Brighton Miles at Preston Park – something we know the kids will love! Don’t miss our interactive timing car, which can be programmed with your personal finishing time for a great photo opportunity. Plus, check out our fun event graphics, designed by local tattooist Mike from FivebyFive.Ink, a custom tattoo studio located at 25 Boundary Road, Hove. Before opening his own studio, Mike was a tattoo artist at Gunpoint in Hove.
Who Are Rivervale?
Rivervale is built on trust. Our vision is to be the UK’s most trusted vehicle provider, offering a full range of services, from personal and business leasing to fleet management for some of the UK’s biggest brands, including Red Bull. We also specialise in minibus leasing, driver training, and safety inspections for schools and academies such as Brighton College.
In Brighton, we operate a Bosch Service Centre, keeping local cars and vans in top condition. We know how busy life can be, so we also offer mobile servicing, bringing expert vehicle maintenance directly to your home or workplace – saving you the hassle of a trip to the garage. And if you're in the market for a high-quality used van, our showroom on Victoria Road in Portslade has a great selection on display, ready for you to test drive.
Supporting the Community
At Rivervale, we’re more than just a vehicle provider. We’re part of the community. Whether it’s working with local businesses, supporting schools, or ensuring Brighton Marathon Weekend runs smoothly, we take pride in being a trusted partner. Our commitment to sustainability means we prioritise electric and low-emission vehicles wherever possible, helping create a cleaner city for everyone.
We’d also like to extend our thanks to Tesla UK, Thrifty, and MAXUS UK for helping us meet our vehicle requirements this year. Their support ensures we continue to provide a seamless experience for runners, volunteers, and spectators alike.
