The Sony Ericsson Run to the Beat is London's largest half marathon. The course will be lined with musicians playing to keep you on the move!

It has been scientifically proven that specially selected music can increase a runner's performance, therefore the 13.1 mile course will be lined with specially chosen live bands and DJs to help you cross the finish line.

Last year places were snapped up within days - so don't miss out. Contact us today to secure your place in this half marathon with a difference.

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.

Why should I join Team RNIB

As a member of Team RNIB you will receive:

  • 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 Sony Ericsson Run to the Beat 2009 half 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.
