Event closed - register for 2010
A huge thank you to all our runners who took part in the 2009 event. Good luck collecting your sponsorship money.
RNIB gives people who have lost their sight vital support to help them find their lives again. Every step you took will really make a difference, you are an inspiration.
Got the New York skyline in your sights? Sign up for the ING New York Marathon 2010 and run with Team RNIB.
To secure a place with Team RNIB, you simply have to pay a £50 registration fee and pledge to raise £1,500 in sponsorship. If you can fundraise over £2,000 we can refund up to £250 of expenses incurred, or up to £500 if you are able to fundraise over £2,500 (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.
Autumn 2010 - date to be confirmed
New York, New York! Run for RNIB in one of the world's best-loved marathons. This fantastic race takes in the five boroughs of New York City, finishing in Central Park. It boasts arguably the best marathon atmosphere in the world, with two million cheering spectators and music every half mile.
This is an event not to be missed and, with our guaranteed places, we can help you get there!
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.

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.
