Kim Davies, Pomona King of the Mountain (Sport (2018))

This local event started over 50years ago in the local pub and is now an iconic festival that takes place on the last Sunday in July each year. Over 60 athletes run from the centre of town to the top of Mt Cooroora (438metres) and back. It is a gruelling race where the entrants run vertically up the mountain and literally fall back down, with the current record being 22minutes and 56 seconds.These images capture two local athletes before, and at the completion of the race.
