Already have a place?
If you have secured a place through the race organisers' ballot, we'd love you to join Team RNIB. 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 packed with 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 the same challenge
- excellent customer care from the moment you register.
Make a difference
Every day another 100 people will start to lose their sight.

We want you to join our mission to challenge sight loss by empowering people who are blind and partially sighted, removing the barriers they face and helping to prevent sight loss. You can help us to achieve this by making your mark - join Team RNIB.
Not for you?

Now, as a presenter on Insight Radio, she uses her experiences to help others. “My prayer is that what we do helps those who are going through sight loss. Even the tiniest piece of information can make a huge difference. If my show can help do that, then my journey has not been in vain.” Jill's full story
