Get Active, Have Fun & Make a Difference
Fancy taking on a challenge while doing something amazing for the Royal National College for the Blind (RNC)?
Whether you’re a seasoned runner, looking for a new way to get active, or simply fancy doing something completely different, there’s a challenge out there for you – and every pound you raise will help support young people who are blind or visually impaired to achieve their potential.
Through our partnership with Run for Charity, you can choose from a huge range of events across the UK and beyond. So, whether your idea of a challenge is a gentle 5K, a half-marathon, tackling a Tough Mudder or throwing yourself around an inflatable obstacle course, there’s something to get you moving!
Find a challenge that works for you
A challenge doesn’t have to mean running for miles. It’s about setting yourself a goal, getting involved and doing something that pushes you outside your usual routine.
You could:
🏃 Take on your first 5K or half-marathon
🏅 Challenge yourself to a longer-distance run
💪 Get stuck into a Tough Mudder or obstacle event
🎈 Have fun on an inflatable challenge
🚶 Choose a walking or other endurance event
👥 Get a group of friends, family or colleagues together and take it on as a team
And, of course, you don’t have to be an experienced athlete. Many events are designed for all abilities, making them a great way to set yourself a personal goal while raising money for a fantastic cause.
How it works
1. Choose your challenge
Head to our Event Hub and browse the wide range of events available. Find something that gets you excited – or perhaps something that scares you just enough to make it a proper challenge!
2. Sign up through our link
Once you’ve found your event, register through our dedicated RNC link to secure your place and get started.
3. Start fundraising
Set up your fundraising page and let people know what you’re taking on. Share it with friends, family and colleagues, and encourage them to get behind you.
And remember, you don’t have to do it alone. We’ll be supporting you along the way and cheering you on as you work towards your goal.
Every challenge makes a difference
Taking on a challenge is a brilliant way to do something for yourself – but by choosing to fundraise for RNC, you’re also helping make a real difference to young people who are blind or visually impaired.
Your fundraising helps support the work of RNC and the opportunities it provides, helping young people develop the skills, confidence and independence they need to achieve their potential.
So, why not make this the year you do something you’ve always wanted to try?
Pick your challenge, get your friends and family behind you, and get moving for RNC.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply hoping to make it to the finish line, we’ll be behind you every step of the way! James has created some training plans, or if you’re looking for more support our trainers are here to support you every step of the way! Just ask the team!
