Spitfire Scramble

The Spitfire Scramble is a 24 hour multi terrain relay or solo race held at the Albyns Farm entrance on South End Road, RM13 7YH. Entrants may race individually or in teams of two to eight runners. Each team may have a maximum of one runner on the course at any time, and runners must complete a full circuit before handing over to a team mate. The event is organised as repeated laps of 5.75 mile circuits.

The course includes sections under the custodianship of the London Borough of Havering and parts under the stewardship of Forestry England. The entry fee allocates the first £10 per person to cover the run itself; the remainder of the fee per person covers the race bib and timing system, parking, camping, medical care, site security, and the event T shirt and medal, all provided at the Event Village site made available by the London Borough of Havering.

Runners and their supporters can begin arriving from Friday afternoon to set up camp and familiarise themselves with the course. Camping is free. On site services listed for the event include catering, toilets, hot showers, sports massage service and first aid. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
