Overview
Summit Shoalhaven aka King of the Mountain
This event has been moved to the 28th November.
It’s hard to keep a great icon hidden, so the team from Elite Energy thought it was time to relaunch and revamp one of Australia’s most iconic off-road trail events, the Shoalhaven King of the Mountain.
Established in 1966 by a small team of local running enthusiasts from the Nowra Athletics Club, this iconic event has seen thousands of runners make the journey up Mount Scanzi to finish in the Kangaroo Valley. In 2020, just 54 years after the first KOM, we will launch Summit Shoalhaven.
We’ve adjusted some the original courses to enable the event to be held while keep COVID-19 transmission risks to a minimum. The new event will incorporate a 55km, 40km, 23km and 13km events catering for the full spectrum of runners from elite to the weekend warrior.
Take a peek at the new 55km course
| Kangaroo Valley is one of the south coast villages that have been severely affected by the 2019/2020 bushfires. So we ask when considering entering this iconic event that you choose to stay local, eat local, spend local and “Love the Valley”.

Schedule
💧 Bring plenty of water with you. There are up to 8 aid stations on course (depending which distance you are racing) where you can top up too.
🛑 If you are in need of assistance, please stop off at an aid station and wait for help, don’t keep pushing ahead.
📶 Don’t rely on your phone reception, it’s hit and miss out on course. To be safe download the Emergency Plus app which works on SOS mode.
🥵 Please race to the conditions, temperatures in the high 30s aren’t the time to be pushing for a PB!
🏃🏼♂️ If you choose to drop down to a shorter distance, we’re happy for you to do that on the day. Just come and see us at the rego tent during your original scheduled rego time.
