Foxton Hound Ultra
The Foxton Hound Ultra, held near Market Harborough, offers challenging 100k and 50k trail races through the scenic countryside of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. The routes follow the Harborough Round footpath, passing historic villages like Houghton on the Hill and West Haddon, and landmarks such as Foxton Locks, Naseby Battlefield, and the Kelmarsh Tunnel. Both courses feature varied terrain with notable elevation changes and beautiful views.
The event provides strong support with multiple aid stations, professional first aid, and free guided recce runs. It is ideal for experienced ultra runners and those stepping up beyond marathon distances, with prizes and commemorative medals for finishers.
