RNIB has a team of over 600 runners who take part in various marathons and runs throughout the year, to raise money for the RNIB. We need your help in cheering on our runners and assisting them at the post race reception where they can grab a drink and relax!
The atmosphere on race day is spectacular; cheering on not only our runners but all others is an inspiration. It's a fun day to be involved in so why not volunteer with family and friends as well!
The 2012 dates we have are as follows:
