Summer Race the Neighbours 10K
Join us for a (hopefully) sunny 10K through East Finchley and Muswell Hill, with incredible views over London. Runners of all abilities are welcome, whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the atmosphere. And of course, it wouldn’t be Race the Neighbours without a friendly dash of local rivalry to keep things interesting.
By running alongside your fellow North London Runners, you’ll also be raising vital funds for the hospice, helping to support essential care in our community. A beautiful route, a brilliant cause and a little neighbourhood pride.
Entries close midday on Friday 26 June 2026.
Postcode Competition
We’ll be awarding prizes to the three fastest male and female runners! And of course, in the tradition of Race the Neighbours, the Cherry Tree Cup will be awarded to the residential postcode with the fastest average time. N10 Muswell Hill came out on top this winter, but can they reign supreme in the summer sun?
Not a resident at one of these postcodes? Don’t worry! You are welcome to join us wherever you live and come to ‘just run’! No matter where you’re from, we have you covered.
