Join us for the Spitfire 10K at the RAF Museum London, for the unique opportunity to run around the historic Hendon area carrying the name of a Battle of Britain serviceman, and supporting the RAF Museum London. The run will take you around the edge of the historic London Aerodrome that once existed in Colindale. Once you cross the finish line you recieve the highly coveted Spitfire 10K race medal, which for the first time will be a sustainable wooden medal featuring a unique aircraft inspired design. This year's race will take place on Sunday 17th September, commemorating Battle of Britain Day.
