Sign up now for King of the Hill fun run/walk
By Hutt City CouncilKing of the Hill is back and it’s time to register to walk or run up the Wainuiomata Hill on Sunday 3 July.
Last year more than 400 people took part, which included competitive runners, families with kids and pushchairs and people dressed up as kings and queens, jesters, princesses and even a horse.
People can register at kingofthehill.co.nz at the Wainuiomata Library or at the
i-SITE on Laings Road in Lower Hutt.
The course has changed slightly this year and is now a loop. It will still go through the Wainuiomata township before heading to the summit of Wainuiomata Hill, over the Pukeatua footbridge, and back again. While it sounds ambitious, only 2km of the course is uphill.
Because the road is sealed and wide it’s a great place for a family day out. There are plenty of spot prizes to be won and special prizes for the best costume. Serious runners can win cash if they’re first female or male home.
King of the Hill
Sunday 3 July | 9am
Start from Queen Street, Wainuiomata
