You Yangs King of the Mountain 12km

The Flinders Peaks in the You Yangs define this Geelong Cross Country Club hill race. The start and finish are at Turntable Carpark, near Flinders Peak. It feels like a traditional club event, not a polished mass participation race, with a handicap format that alters how the clock is used. The morning focuses on the course itself; the climb is the main feature, not an afterthought. Runners not part of the club may participate as invitation runners. The specific rule is that they will be timed, but cannot win fastest time or handicap prize money.
