History

The Full Story

Originally running from 1978-1988, Australia's toughest foot race challenged competitors to lug 60kg bags of wheat 1km to the summit of Mount Wycheproof - officially the world's smallest mountain. The annual event attracted participants from across the nation, bringing together running enthusiasts and spectators alike.

In 2023 - 35 years since the last competition, the Wycheproof Narraport Football Netball Hockey Club has brought it back. In 2025 Wycheprood Narraport FNHC merged with Nullawil FNC to form the Calder United Lions Football, Netball & Hockey Club and continue the tradition of King of the Mount.

Held annually on AFL Grand Final Day, locals and visitors are invited to witness this true test of endurance, skill and determination.
