Pulling their weight

COMPETITION is heating up for Wimmer’s King of the Mountain Festival 2014, with local businesses getting ready to take out the title of strongest business in Cooroy.
The annual Raine and Horne Corporate Tug-O-War is on again and has already seen local commercial heavyweights such as Cooroy Bendigo Bank, Pomona IGA and Winmmer’s Soft Drinks join the competition.
The Tug-O-War is part a day packed full with events including the Nestle 3km family fun run, Canesaid Primary School relay, the newly launched E Fitness pram push and the much anticipated Mountain Challenge.
Nominations for the main race are open from May 14 to July 16.
The festival kicks off 27 July, and the full list of events and registration for the main race are at www.kingofthemountain.com.au.
There is still time to register a business for the Tug-O-War. Registration is $50 per team and teams must have at least one female.
Phone Heather on 0411 114 077 to secure a spot.
