Chocks away – The Spitfire 10K is back!

Take off this August as the Spitfire 10K returns to RAF Museum Midlands for its 10th Anniversary. Don’t miss the amazing opportunity to join hundreds of runners challenging themselves to complete our unique 10-kilometre racecourse on the Airfield of the RAF Cosford.

The Spitfire 10K will be flying back to RAF Museum Midlands on Sunday 25th August 2024. Our unique racecourse will take runners onto the Airfield of RAF Cosford, alongside wartime hangars and the air traffic control tower, ready for a sprint down the runway. Once you cross the finish line you will receive the highly coveted Spitfire 10K medal, this year featuring a very special 10th anniversary design.

Our Roll of Honour cards enable you to carry the name of a Battle of Britain Pilot with you on your run. By finding out more about your pilot and sharing their stories you help to keep their history alive!
