King of the Hill

The last-one-standing hill climb that doubles every year and put Harry's on national television.

400 tickets sold out 2026, target 500 in 2027

The Longest Mile

The mile that refuses to end. Sold out its first year off thirteen weeks of notice.

24 July 2027, target 1,000 athletes

The app comes with you. Year-round exposure inside Harry's Challenges, the app our athletes open every week. Event partners get the Featured App Partner package included: priority placement in Rewards, your product in every monthly member giveaway, and a referral code that earns you commission. On its own that is $4,000 + GST a year. Here it costs you nothing extra.

See what that includes

Fewer, stronger, more integrated partners. And more events are coming: event partners get first look at every property we launch next.

Melbourne Frontyard Ultra, hosted by Ultra Series Australia, is not a Harry's property. Where we hold media rights it can be added as an extra opportunity.

King of the Hill.

It has doubled every year it has run. 100 tickets, then 200, then 400, sold out. Year two went viral off a shoestring budget and put Harry's on prime-time national news. Next edition: 30 October 2027, target 500.

This is what the frame looks like.

Every round goes out live with commentary. The frame carries the athlete count, the lap and distance readout, the race clock, and a sponsor pod that rotates through partners for the whole broadcast. Every image below is a real frame from the last King of the Hill.

The scrolling wall is our rewards partners: brands supplying product, offers and prizes into the app marketplace. A different relationship to a brand partnership, and a good place to start.

Build your position.

Limited spots available for larger partners. The model is deliberately fewer, stronger, more integrated partners, so the bigger positions are not open indefinitely.

We prefer to sell both events together, with a single event as the smaller play, and every event partnership includes the app. A partnership runs twelve months from signing, and signing before the end of October makes King of the Hill 2026 your first activation. If the app is what you are after, start on App Partners instead.

Here is what the pieces cost. Every position below is a range, not a fixed price, because the footprint is different for every brand. Take one piece or take the lot. Open any of them to see what is actually included.

  • The sponsor railThe logo pod that sits in the permanent on-screen frame and rotates through partners for the whole broadcast.
  • Named boardsThe leaderboard and the fastest lap boards carry your name every time the commentary team brings them up.
  • The promo panelA full in-frame panel on a scheduled run through the broadcast.
  • Athlete cardsYour brand on the card that goes up when a name comes into the race.
  • Shout outsScripted mentions plus the incidental ones that come with being on screen for hours.
  • Product on airCrew and commentary using or wearing your product on the broadcast.

The rail on its own is the entry point. Named boards, the panel and athlete cards build from there.

  • Shared tentA stall inside the main tent in a general position. The cheapest way in and the least for you to carry.
  • Standalone siteYour own footprint in a priority position on the athlete route, where everyone passes you repeatedly.
  • Sampling and giveawayPut product into athletes' and spectators' hands across the day.
  • SignageBanners and flags through the activation zone and along the course.

Priority position is the difference between people walking past you and people walking past you forty times.

  • Buy a block of entriesYou pay for entries and give them to athletes who would not otherwise get there. It has already happened: a sponsor bought ten King of the Hill entries for their athletes.
  • Priced at face valueKing of the Hill entries and Longest Mile entries at the same price anyone else pays. Ten entries is the usual block.
  • Branding comes afterThis is about getting people to the start line first. What you put your name on is a conversation once the athletes are in.

The one that works for brands outside endurance, and for people who just want to back athletes who cannot fund it themselves.

  • Both eventsKing of the Hill and the Longest Mile, across the full year rather than one weekend.
  • The app includedThe Featured App Partner package comes with it: priority Rewards placement, every monthly member giveaway, and a referral code.
  • Category exclusivityNobody else in your category sits alongside you.
  • Naming and presenting rightsOn the moments we agree are yours.
  • Livestream and activation built inRather than bought on top.

Deliberately few of these. The model is fewer, stronger, more integrated partners, so the bigger positions are not open indefinitely.

The questions brands actually ask.

Two ways in. Event partners sponsor King of the Hill and The Longest Mile, ideally both, and get year-round app and Rewards exposure included. App-only brands join as rewards partners. From either lane you can add ownership of specific moments: a livestream position, an event activation, corporate athlete sponsorship, content or category exclusivity. Every package is built bespoke around the brand.
Yes, though we will always show you both first, because the brands that get real value are the ones our athletes see all year, not for one weekend. A single event is the smaller play, and local businesses, suppliers and venues have their own event-only packages.
Product sits alongside a partnership, not instead of it. We ask partners for a product contribution each year that we redistribute through Rewards, giveaways and event activations. That is the inventory that keeps a brand in front of the community between events.
The app side is published in full on App Partners: $1,500 or $4,000 + GST a year. On the events, every position is listed above with a range against it. They are ranges rather than fixed prices because footprint genuinely differs: a stall inside a shared tent and a standalone site in a priority position are not the same product. Pick the pieces you want and we will price the build and send it itemised.
A report covering app impressions and activity, challenge entries, reward views and redemptions, giveaway entries, social reach and interactions, livestream views and event attendance. Where something is not yet measurable we will say so rather than dress up an estimate.
Register your interest above, or book a call straight from the top of this page. Tell us which positions you are after and we will come back with the build priced and itemised. No obligation at that stage.
