WHAT MAKES THIS RACE UNIQUE
- A hill in flat South Florida?! Vista View Park has the elevation. King of the Hill puts that climb in the middle of your 5K, you earn the finish.
- Crown yourself King or Queen of the Hill. Top 3 Overall Male and Female, Masters honors, plus age group awards from 14 & under to 75 & over. Real categories, real glory.
- Labor Day Weekend, runner style. Kick off the long weekend the right way — sweat first, BBQ later. 7:30 AM start gets you home before the party kicks off.
RACE HISTORY
What started with just 60 runners has grown into one of South Florida's most beloved late-summer traditions — now 19 years strong, with the Vista View hill as the great equalizer that keeps drawing them back.
