On 15 August 2026, the Foxton Hound Ultra returns with two options — 50K and 100K — designed as both a serious ultra challenge and a step up from marathon distance. The route traces the Harborough Round, linking quiet villages, historic countryside and open farmland across Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. Underfoot, expect a classic English mixed trail feel: public footpaths, bridleways, fields, tracks and short road connectors, with plenty of undulation rather than mountain climbs. The atmosphere leans community and adventurous, rewarding steady pacing, good fuelling, and confident trail running over long hours.
Races
The Foxton Hound Ultra 50K is also held on Saturday 15 August 2026, organised by Race Harborough, with the same Winwick Hall start/finish near Market Harborough, offering a shorter ultra-distance journey on the Harborough Round through the surrounding rural trails and villages.
The Foxton Hound Ultra 100K takes place on Saturday 15 August 2026, organised by Race Harborough, starting and finishing at Winwick Hall (Northants), near Market Harborough, UK, and follows the Harborough Round long-distance footpath through the countryside and villages of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.
