Foxton Hound Ultra

The Foxton Hound Ultra, held near Market Harborough, offers two challenging trail races of 100k and 50k distances through the scenic countryside and villages of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. The routes follow the Harborough Round long-distance footpath, featuring notable landmarks such as Foxton Locks, Naseby Battlefield, and the Kelmarsh Tunnel on the Brampton Valley Way. Both races are TRA licensed and run under UKA rules, catering to experienced ultra runners and those stepping up from marathon distances.

The course includes varied terrain with elevation changes, multiple aid stations, and requires mandatory kit for safety. The event fosters community with free guided recces and supports local foodbanks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
