Run to the Beat 2012

Sunday 28 October

Run wild to the beat for WWF!

With over 18,000 runners participating in this awesome half Marathon, powered by Nike+, this event is quickly becoming THE race of the year! 14 live music stages are scattered round the course ensuring an amazing party atmosphere, as you run to the rhythm of the beat.

Running for WWF
Taking part as TEAM WWF you will receive tons of benefits, such as fundraising support, an eco-friendly branded running vest, training advice and cheering from our ‘panda made me do it’ team of supporters and our very own ‘panda’ mascot! Read more about the support we offer here.

Your fundraising will help our work to tackle the most serious environmental challenges facing the planet, building a future where people and nature thrive.

Join TEAM WWF today as ‘charity place’ runner or ‘own place’ runner!

Direct places for this event have now sold out but you can still apply for a WWF place! For one of our limited ‘charity places’, we ask you to pay a £25 registration fee and pledge to raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship. Please complete the online registration form.

If you secure your ‘own place’ through the ballot, then we welcome you to join our team, with all of the same benefits. As an ‘own place’ runner you set your individual sponsorship target according to what is personally achievable, but hurry, as the ballot will close once the event is full! Once you've got your own place please complete our registration form.

Join our TEAM WWF ‘Panda Made Me Do It’ cheering point
We're looking for people to join our cheering point on the day and create pandemonium (‘PANDA’ MONIUM!) for our runners. With ‘The Panda Made Me Do It’ T-shirts and WWF banners, your support will ensure our runners will not miss us, and are supported every step of the way. As friends and family of a runner in our team, or an individual who feels passionate about WWF, we welcome you. Email us at eventvolunteers@wwf.org.uk

With the fantastic sounds and the remarkable sights of the O2 Arena, the Royal Arsenal Barracks and the stunning Greenwich Park, and acts like Calvin Harris, Tinie Tempah, Annie Mac and Reggie Yeats performing in previous years; this 13.1 mile course starting and finishing at the O2 Arena will certainly be the run to remember.
