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 of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. The routes follow the Harborough Round long-distance footpath, passing through historic villages like Houghton on the Hill, West Haddon, and landmarks such as Foxton Locks, Naseby Battlefield, and the Kelmarsh Tunnel on the Brampton Valley Way. Both races feature varied terrain with notable elevation changes and are TRA licensed under UKA rules.
Support includes multiple aid stations with food and drinks, professional first aid, and free guided recces. The event fosters a strong community atmosphere and encourages self-navigation with available GPX files. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
