The Pomona King of the Mountain Festival & Race

The Pomona King of the Mountain Festival & Race

Who will be the next Mountain King in the SPORTF1RST International Mountain Challenge? Will Graham Barralet return to challenge his record time set in 1987 of 22:50 or will Neil Labinsky make this his 4th consecutive win? Not to forget our Queen of the Mountain Hubertein Wichers, who may become the first female in race history to complete the Mountain in under 30 min; Hubertin has won this gruelling race 4 times. Although we have heard of fierce training being undertaken by our New Zealand competitors, we hear their roar from afar ready for the challenge.
