Double Dash virtual 5k fun run
Double up to take on RNIB’s virtual 5k fun run tethered together for sight loss.
Double Dash is a virtual charity fun run like no other. Inspired by blind and partially sighted people running with guides, it’s a unique spin on a classic 5k where you sign up with a partner to double up and run connected – it’s all about coordination and collaboration!
You and your running partner choose your own 5k route and we’ll send you a tether to keep you attached by the wrist all the way to your finish line, a popular way to run with a guide. Whether you need a guide or not, Double Dash is inclusive to all and an opportunity to have fun together while helping to break down barriers faced by people with sight loss.
Registration for 2022 is now closed, register your interest for 2023.

Sponsorship pledge
We suggest you and your running partner set yourself a joint target of £100. This could help provide training for two employers on how to create accessible working environments.
We were both really pleased – we felt like we conquered a different challenge.

How the money you raise makes a difference
By taking part in Double Dash, you’ll join RNIB in taking a stand against exclusion, inequality and isolation to create a world without barriers where people with sight loss can lead full lives. A different world where society values blind and partially sighted people not for the disabilities they’ve overcome, but for the people they are.
