Route information

Spring has sprung and summer will soon be upon us, so it’s time for the return of Summer Race the Neighbours.

Join us for a (hopefully) sunny 10K through East Finchley and Muswell Hill, with incredible views over London and just enough of a challenge to feel proud at the finish line.

You can view the route here and join our strava group here

We have two different ticket options:

No fundraising entry - £27.50 (+ booking fee)
Fundraising entry - £20 (+ booking fee), minimum sponsorship of £30

Runners of all abilities are warmly 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.

Who will you be running for?

N2 East Finchley
N10 Muswell Hill
N6 Highgate
N22 Ally Pally & Wood Green
N3, N11, N12 Friern Barnet, Church End & Woodside Park
N8, N19 Archway, Crouch End & Hornsey

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’!

Event day logistics

Start time

The run will start promptly at 9.30am on Sunday 28 June. To ensure that you have time to drop off your bag and collect your race number, we would encourage you to arrive by 8.30am.

Race numbers and timing

Race numbers can be collected at the registration desk in Cherry Tree Wood where the race starts and finishes. We are not distributing race numbers in advance of race day. Please do allow time to arrive and pick up your number.

Your race number incorporates a timing chip so in order to receive your final time, it is essential that you wear your race number throughout the run. Individual results will be available at the finish and a full set of results will be sent out soon after the run is completed.

Once you have picked up your number don't forget to write your name and emergency details on the back of your race number. If you can please bring your own safety pins to attach your number to your running vest that would be amazing and save us some money, we will have some spares though on the day.

Bags and toilets

We will have a bag drop-off point set up in Cherry Tree Wood, so you can leave your bag there and pick it up at the end of the race. There are toilets at the start.
