Hounslow Classic

From Allview Escape, the Hounslow Classic plunges you into a "weekend of gnarly and spectacular trail racing" around the Grose Valley Wilderness. This is trail running with teeth: "brutal climbs, steep technical terrain" and those "jaw dropping valleys" that make you look up even when your legs are asking questions. The course runs along the tops of "sheer sandstone cliffs," then dives into canyon trails through "ancient landscapes" before sending runners up rocky peaks with "360 degree views" over the chiselled Grose Valley. It is the sort of race that attracts trail runners who like their footing honest, their climbs rough, and their views earned rather than handed over at the car park.
