King of the Hill Hot Lap
Run one virtual lap of the Hill, as fast as you can. 4.2km and 300m of climbing in a single run, wherever you are.
Once it's installed, find The KOTH Hot Lap in the Challenges feed.
Bring the Hill home.
Every lap at King of the Hill climbs the same brutal Hill. The Hot Lap asks you to run one as fast as you can, on a hill of your own.
King of the Hill kicks off in Pyalong on 31 October, and the Hot Lap opens the same morning. You don't need a ticket or a trip to Victoria. Find the steepest route near you, cover the distance and the climbing in one run, and log it in the Harry's app.
Finish the lap. Earn your tickets.
Every finisher gets tickets into Harry's monthly prize draw. The fastest qualifying runs top the leaderboard, and the top five earn bonus tickets on top.
Bonus tickets land when the challenge closes. Live leaderboard and draw details are in the app.

A time trial is a set distance run flat out, against the clock. There's no pack to sit in and no finish-line sprint for position. Your time is your result, and the only person you're racing is you.
The trick is pacing. Go out too hard and the back half falls apart. Most people run their best time trial by starting a touch slower than feels right and finishing fast.
A short time trial, like a mile or 3km, is one of the simplest ways to measure your running fitness. Run it again a few weeks later and the clock tells you exactly how far you've come.
- Mile
- 1,609 metres, or 1.61km. The classic distance for a flat-out run.
- Even pacing
- Running each part of the distance at the same speed, the fastest way to a good time.
- Negative split
- Running the second half faster than the first.
