Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, there’s something for everyone. Choose from one of many organised runs through Beacon’s Run for Charity programme, from 5K, 10K, half marathon to full marathon. Or, run on your own terms in your local park, or even at your weekly parkrun, however you choose to take part, you’ll be making a difference in 2025.

We’re asking all participants to pledge to raise £150 in honour of our 150th birthday. Every step you take and every pound you raise helps us continue delivering vital services to the sight loss community.

Every mile you run and every pound you raise will help brighten the future for those living with sight loss. So, are you ready to hit the ground running?
