21a Hard plays periodically put on under canvas (8) I-T-N---
Looks like INTENTLY but I can't completely parse it.
ut I can
19d Plenty whine after going outside (8) O----N-E
Looks like OPULENCE but I can't completely parse this either.

18d Surmounting obstacle is skinny runner's challenge (8) G----L-T
Looks like GAUNTLET, but I don't understand why LET = obstacle...unless as in tennis?

Many thanks

21a In tent - under canvas + pLaYs

Pule (whine) inside once

21a Intently - 'in tent' (under canvas) + 'pLaYs' (periodically)
19d Opulence - 'once' (after, outside) 'pule' (whine)

18d Gauntlet - 'gaunt' (skinny, surmounting; on) 'let' (obstacle; eg "without let or hindrance")

Many thanks for that one - I see now!

And pule is a new word to me!
