The Virgin London Marathon is one of the world's best sporting events, as well as one of life's great challenges, and we want to help you to be a part of it.
This is a phenomenal event to be a part of - not just for the physical challenge, but also because it is the world's largest fundraising event!
The London Marathon is one of the five top marathons that make up the World Marathon Majors; this doesn't mean that first time runners shouldn't take part. Team RNIB consists of first time runners as well as elite runners - so we can tailor training, nutrition and fundraising advice to suit you.
Why run for Team RNIB?
Every day 100 people in the UK start losing their sight. Right now RNIB can only reach one in three of the people who need our help most. Join Team RNIB in the Virgin London Marathon 2014 and help us reach them all.
This world-renowned 26.2 mile race fills up fast. What are you waiting for? Do something inspirational and take the first step today.
