About the Event

BMF Hounslow Training Run Perry's-Lockleys-Pinnacles Return is set to take place on June 28th in Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales, Australia. The event offers a challenging 18km course that includes steep terrain and single-track trails, making it an excellent training run for those preparing for the Hounslow Classic marathon.
Race morning will see runners gather at Perry's Lookdown Car Park, where they'll begin their journey with a descent of 2.5km stairs into the Grose Valley. From there, participants cross the Grose River and ascend Lockleys via rough trails to reach the summit pylon. The route then continues along tricky single-track paths before ending back at Perry's Lookdown Car Park. An optional early turn-around point is available for those seeking a shorter distance.

Over sixteen years of experience, they have honed their run training sessions with experienced trainers like Head Trainer Tony Williams and Run Trainer Di Kipp, who will share invaluable race preparation tips.
