Overview

The 100K and 50K Foxton Hound Ultras take runners on a journey through the beautiful countryside and villages that surround Market Harborough as they traverse the Harborough Round long distance footpath through Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. 

The courses have some fantastic views, as well as places of historical and cultural interest, including Houghton on the Hill, West Haddon, Coton and Stoke Albany as well as visiting Foxton Locks and the Naseby Battle Field. Both races are great challenges for seasoned ultra runners, as well as providing a great stepping stone for those looking to go beyond marathon distance, 50k or 50 miles towards longer distances in the future.

Both routes enjoy some decent elevation, but there's some lovely downhills as well to compensate! 

The routes intersect with, and/or uses parts of, the following long-distance footpaths: The Jurassic Way, The Leicestershire Round, The Macmillan Way, The Midshires Way, The Richard the Third Trail, and The Uppingham Round.
