A new mountain running event has been given the go ahead for the Noosa Cooroy region.
The Cooroy Mountain Run will see runners clamber to the summit of Mt Cooroy and back down at a lightening fast pace.
The once a year opportunity to cross over private land and tackle this iconic mountain will draw people to the challenge.
Not unlike the Pomona King of the Mountain concept, the Cooroy Mountain Run is the same elevation as Cooroora, but is technically easier to negotiate and will be a faster run overall than the Pomona race.
Entries have been flooding in for this new event and the race will be capped to 100 runners.
Event founder and director Andy Town is thankful for the support of the Lavin family who have given permission for the event which crosses their property and the Cooroy Rotary Club for their support.
Profits from the event will be donated to the Rotary Club as a gesture of goodwill.
