Every hour, on the hour, until there's one of ya left - Can you handle it? This is Australia's ultimate test of physical and mental resilience.
We've got a Hill. And we're challenging you to climb it. The question is, do you accept the challenge?
We've expanded our prize offerings this year, so everyone has something to gun for.
(Plus bonus prizes for athletes, spectators, and support crews!)
Located near the town of Pyalong, just 90 minutes from Melbourne, King of The Hill takes place beneath the imposing shadow of the Hill.
You'll be assigned your own rest and refuel station, free to be decked out with whatever you need to sustain you between laps of the circuit. That could look like a sheltered camping setup, a hydration station or even a base of operations for your support team.
All you have to do is complete the circuit, up and down the hill, once an hour.
Then do it again. And again...
Last year's King of The Hill livestream ran for an unbelievable 90 consecutive hours, capturing every brutal lap and gritty moment as over 100,000 viewers tuned in from across Australia and beyond. From sunset suffering to delirious midnight interviews, it became one of the most talked-about endurance broadcasts of the year.
In 2026, we're pushing the limits again -- more cameras, more coverage, and even more chaos from The Hill.
Don't wait - tickets are limited, and this is your chance to take on the ultimate challenge.
King of the Hill 2024 proved what this event could be. 2025 showed us how wild it can get. 2026? Get ready - it's going to blow your socks clean off.
Enjoy a complimentary 12 Month Subscription to Harry's: Challenges, our one-stop-shop for wild fitness challenges and even wilder prizes to compete for. On top of that, you'll unlock access to a vault of 40+ exclusive discount codes from our partner brands.
*PS: If this isn't one of the best events you have EVER been to, we'll refund you your tickets, no questions asked.
The 2025 documentary follows runners who came looking for a challenge--and found parts of themselves they didn't know existed. You'll feel the tension, the suffering, and the triumph as the hill sorts pretenders from contenders. Thinking about entering 2026?
Watch it now.
"This event taught me a lot from just being around other athletes where we are all here to suffer for the same purpose. Creating conversations to uplift each individual to their full potential."
"Honestly I've never seen anything like it, the amount of genuine love, celebration and camaraderie amongst everyone was so heartwarming. It was an incredible event to be apart of."
"King Of The Hill did not disappoint! I wanted a challenge, I wanted to find the limit and I've found it. 30 hours, 30 laps of 4.2km and 300m elevation gain."
"Kevin Costner said it best, 'If you build it, they will come.' You built something special here, an event run on heart, not dollar signs. See you when the siren sounds in 2026."
"Who needs a support crew? This gnarly Pyalong hill was a whole new beast. 24 hours and 48 hill repeats later, I sent my final lap in 31:41. Huge kudos to @hardcoreharrys!"
"Before this, the most I'd ever done in a WEEK was 120km with 4500m elevation. It's still sinking in how I managed to hang on with some of Australia's best ultra runners for 75 laps."
