Join Team RNIB
To secure a place with Team RNIB, you simply have to pay a £50 (including VAT) registration fee and pledge to raise £1,000 in sponsorship. If you can fundraise over £1,500, we can refund up to £100 of expenses incurred, or up to £250 if you are able to fundraise over £2,000 (subject to proof of expenditure).
We do not offer packages with accommodation or flights as we think it is important for your supporters to know that 100 per cent of your sponsorship will come directly to RNIB. This also means that you are free to make your own arrangements and are not tied down to a set package. However, we will be able to supply you with travel and accommodation suggestions.
Sunday 10 October 2010
Join Team RNIB in the windy city for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2010. The iconic Sears Tower is the backdrop to this fantastic marathon, and the route passes by the famous Lake Michigan and takes in many of Chicago's colourful suburbs.
Already have a place?
If you have secured a place through the race organisers' ballot, we'd love you to join Team RNIB. You can register to run for us online.
You will have access to all the same benefits as our guaranteed entry runners but you will not have a sponsorship target. We only have a limited amount of guaranteed places available, so we really appreciate any sponsorship money raised by people with their own places.

-
a welcome pack full of fundraising tips and expert training and nutrition advice from For Goodness Shakes
-
regular newsletters
-
running vest
-
opportunity to join the RNIB online community and meet others taking part in this challenge
-
post-race reception
-
excellent customer care from the moment you register until after race day.
What would you lose from your life if you lost your sight?
When you lose your sight you lose more than your ability to see.
Every day, almost 100 people in the UK will start to lose their sight. RNIB gives people who have lost their sight vital support to help them find their lives again. Right now RNIB can only reach one in three of the people who need our help most. Join Team RNIB and help us reach them all.
Not for you?
Don't worry! If the Bank of America Chicago Marathon isn't for you, why not check out our full events and challenges calendar. We have so many amazing events lined up, from 5kms to marathons, bike rides to overseas adventures and triathlons to parachute jumps.
