Hounslow Classic 2026 results from the Blue Mountains: marathon and 17K coverage, leading performances and links to the official results.
The Hounslow Classic returned to Blackheath in the Blue Mountains on 12–13 September 2026, with a marathon, 17-kilometre race and kids race. The organiser’s results page links to the official MultiSport Australia timing portal, which lists each event by gender and overall position. This report uses those published gun times and keeps the marathon and 17K results distinct.
Hounslow Classic 2026 results: Mike Carroll leads the marathon
Mike Carroll won the men’s Hounslow Marathon in 4:36:38. Piotr Babis was second in 4:53:41, while Blake Abbott finished third in 4:54:32. The three times are taken directly from the MultiSport Australia overall male table. The spread from first to third was 17 minutes and 54 seconds, illustrating the endurance demand of a long trail-style race without turning the result into a prediction about pace on another course.
Julia Anderson topped the women’s marathon table in 5:13:53. Brittany Harriden placed second in 5:40:02 and Alice Schacher was third in 5:41:09. Anderson’s time also appears on the Hounslow Classic course-records panel. The organiser lists the course record separately from the race table, so readers can distinguish a published 2026 result from a historical record entry.
17K leaders add a shorter-race view
The Hounslow 17K offered a shorter option on the same weekend. Leo Peterson won the men’s race in 1:28:18, followed by James Barnett in 1:29:22 and David Vernon in 1:29:51. Bridget Lunn led the women’s field in 1:50:55. Sophie Brown was second in 1:54:01 and Beatriz Ogilvie third in 1:54:52. These are gun times shown on the official timing page, not adjusted pace estimates.
Kids race and the wider weekend
The kids race results show Django Mak first in the boys’ table at 5:48, with Noah Smith at 6:01 and Chase Taylor at 6:09. Edith Alice-Prescott led the girls’ table at 6:40, ahead of Olive Warren at 7:33 and Lenah Rose Pecoul at 7:39. The organiser describes the weekend as a collection of races with different motivations, from chasing a place to simply getting through the Grand Canyon safely. Publishing the children’s results alongside the marathon recognises that a running festival is a community programme, not only an elite leaderboard.
How to read the results
MultiSport labels the columns as “Time” for the marathon and “Gun Time” for the 17K and kids race. That wording matters: it tells readers exactly which official field is being reported. Individual result pages and category tabs are available from the same portal for runners who want age-group detail. RunHQ will not infer participation totals or claim that every entrant finished when the organiser has not published those figures.
For runners planning a future Australian trail event, the RunHQ events calendar is a useful starting point. A gradual 5K-to-10K progression can build consistency before adding longer trail distances, while a running-watch comparison can help with navigation and training logs. Neither replaces the organiser’s course rules, mandatory-gear list or safety guidance.
