Whether you’re a budding jogger or a half marathon challenger, join us for a race like no other and help Sport Relief raise life-changing amounts of money to support people living incredibly tough lives in the UK and around the world.
On Friday 13 March, as part of Sport Relief, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Philharmonic orchestra will play Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony live at MediaCityUK. You could join hundreds of other people challenging themselves to run 5K and "beat" the music, which lasts between 30-35 minutes. Be there on the day, or run your own race with Radio 3 on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds.
So, what are you waiting for? Help us take on poverty and injustice, get your kit on and join us for what promises to be a fantastic day.
There are two ways you can get involved:
1. Firstly, you can sign up to run our 5K race in Salford as the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Philharmonic performs the symphony, live on in Tune. Tickets cost £15, with £10 of each ticket going directly to Sport Relief’s work supporting people living incredibly tough lives, in the UK and around the world.
2. And if you’re listening and thinking you’d like to have a go at Beating Beethoven, but can’t make it to MediaCity – don’t let that stop you! Listen live by tuning into Radio 3 on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds from 4pm on 13 March as you run your own fundraising 5K in your local park or on a treadmill at the gym. And after the event, you’ll be able to download a free recording of Beethoven’s Fifth from Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sounds that will enable you do your own fundraising run at a time and place to suit you.
You can sign up to fundraise your own Beat Beethoven run – or jog – by going to bbc.co.uk/sportrelief and following the links to Beat Beethoven. That's where you'll also find tickets for the Salford event, plus tips for fundraising and training and the T&Cs.
