King of the mountain 2011
1 Aug 11
The distance of the race is 32 kilometres which takes in the best sights and native sounds of the local area.
The “King” features several fresh water creek crossings (with concrete causeways), rolling hills through unspoilt bushland and glorious views of sheer cliff faces, valleys and ravines.
The runners experience all this on their way to the crest of Mount Scanzi - 24 kilometres from the start.
With breathtaking views at this point the course takes them down a steep descent and then on through the valley.
The final stage of this long distance event finishes with a short run up Moss Vale Road to the finish line at our picturesque Kangaroo Valley Showground.
The Shoalhaven King of the Mountain is run and administered by the Nowra Athletics Club.
The 32 km race has been an annual event for more than 30 years and regularly attracts Australian and internationally known runners together with a large contingent of local distance runners.
Drink and refreshment stations are provided at intervals of between two and six kilometres.
