Route information

It’s the return of North London Hospice’s brrrrrrilliant Winter Race the Neighbours. Join our scenic, wintery 10K run through East Finchley and Muswell Hill, with incredible views over London.

You can view the route here.

We have two different ticket options:

Standard entry (fundraising) - £20 (+ booking fee), minimum sponsorship of £30
No fundraising entry - £27.50 (+ booking fee) (new lower price!)

People from all fitness levels are welcome, and as always, there will be a pinch of neighbourhood rivalry thrown in for good measure. Plus, in joining your fellow North London Runners, you’ll be raising vital funds for the hospice.

Please note, all runners must be aged 16+.

Entries close midday on Friday 23 January 2025.

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

Feeling competitive? 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 combined time. N22 took home the trophy in Summer AND last Winter - can anyone stop them?

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’! Snow matter where you’re from, we have you covered.

Event day logistics

Start time

The run will start promptly at 9.30am on Sunday 25 January. 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.
