Hill run is out to challenge again

There’s still time to sign up for Sunday’s King of the Hill event in Wainuiomata.

The event, in its second year, is an all-ages walk or run from the Wainuiomata township up to the Wainuiomata Hill summit and back. This year’s course is slightly longer at eight kilometres but the uphill distance remains at the same.

People can sign up online at www.kingofthe hill.co.nz, at the Wainuiomata Library on Queen St or at the i-SITE in Laings Rd, Lower Hutt.

King of the Hill costs $10 for adults, $5 for children and is free for those under-five.

To date, participants range in age from eight months to 72 years old proving the event really is for all ages. As well as spot prizes, there is $400 cash and a trophy for first man and woman home and prizes for the best dressed King and Queen.
