Foxton Hound Ultra
Northampton, United Kingdom • 16 Aug 2025
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 Foxton Locks, as well as landmarks such as the Naseby Battle Field and Kelmarsh Tunnel. Both courses feature varied terrain with notable elevation changes and intersect with several long-distance trails. The event provides strong on-course support with multiple aid stations, professional first aid, and mandatory safety kit requirements. It is ideal for experienced ultra runners and those stepping up beyond marathon distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
