BMF Hounslow Training - 17km Course 14/06/26

BMF Hounslow Training - 17km Course on June 14th, 2026 in Blackheath, New South Wales, Australia is a grueling run through the challenging terrain of the Grose Valley. The course starts at Twin Falls Road near All View private property and weaves along cliff top tracks to Govetts Leap before descending into the Grand Canyon via numerous stairs. From Neates Glen, it loops back up to Evans Lookout and then retraces its steps until returning to the start.
The setting is rugged with a mix of single track trails and steep ascents that make for an invigorating morning on race day in early June. Temperatures typically range from 0.6C to 9.8C, making it comfortably chilly despite occasional rain, but the UV index at 8.0 indicates high exposure so sun protection is key.
The course offers a full 17km and an optional extra distance for those looking to push themselves further. The terrain is firm with slight softness that adds some variety to each step. With over sixteen years of experience training runners for ultra-marathons, BMF ensures participants are well-prepared with their knowledgeable trainers who know the area intimately.
