Life On Lookout

King of the Mountain Road Race

04-May-2016 by Merrell McGinness

Have you got what it takes to be King?

The annual King of the Mountain Road Race is set for this Saturday, May 7 at Lookout Mountain’s Town Commons. And while it benefits the scholarship fund of Good Shepherd School, the 4-mile race is anything but child’s play.

The thigh-burning course hugs the edges of Lookout Mountain’s point, traveling East Brow Road to Point Park and back on West Brow Road past Sunset Rock. Expect stiff competition – last year’s top male finisher, Geno Phillips ran it in 21 minutes, 53 seconds, averaging a 5:29 pace.

Last year’s top female, Jessica Marlier zoomed through in 24 minutes and 31 seconds. It was her third win in a row, earning her the indisputable title of “Queen of the Mountain.”

Even if you’re not training for Boston, you can still enjoy this community-wide road race. A 1-mile Fun Run/Walk will feature almost as many strollers as sneakers. Good Shepherd students – all under age 5 – are encouraged to enter. Many “run” before they can walk.

Besides the runner’s high, you can feel good about participating. All proceeds go to GSS’ scholarship fund, which provides tuition assistance for families who otherwise might not be able to attend. As Lookout’s only full-time program for young children, GSS plays an important role in the Lookout Mountain community and beyond.
