Most of us have run a 5K, a 10K, half-marathon and maybe even a marathon.  All of those are great accomplishments but are getting to be a little commonplace.  I know I am always looking for something that is a little different.  Every King of the Mountain race is centered around finding a big hill in your city and then seeing who can get up and down it the quickest.  The courses are challenging but doable by any level of runner.  Even if you don't win, just getting up and over the hill is a great accomplishment.  The satisfaction gained by conquering any one of the mountains will far outweigh that of running yet another beach cruiser 10K.  So get your hill workouts in and come out and become a King of the Mountain!
