The King of the Mountain race in Pomona has been cancelled after organisers rejected a request from the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service to split runners into two groups. The race, which features 80 runners navigating a steep path on a mountain, was deemed to be compromised by the stricter conditions. Moving forward, government officials will work with organisers to ensure an environmentally sustainable event. Fans of the iconic race are disappointed by the cancellation, which came after a dispute between organisers and QPWS. The race, a tradition since 1979, has a rich history and is beloved by the community. Despite the cancellation, there is hope that the event can return in the future. The decision to cancel was a difficult one for the organisers, who aim to uphold the integrity of the race experience. The Department of Environment stated that the adjustments were necessary to minimize impacts and safety risks. The community is saddened by the loss of the race, as it holds a special place in the hearts of those who live in the area.
