Mauao King and Queen of the Mountain is celebrating 77 years strong, with two fantastic races for the casual family runners to the elite alike; the Junior King and Queen to the foot of the second gate beyond the stone stairs, and the senior King and Queen to the top and return via the main Mount beach. This year the iconic event is a recognised World Mountain Running member race, and has the distinction of being the only ranked race in the World with a scenic beachfront finish.
