King Of The Hammers Is Tough On The Competition
The King of the Hammers is not an easy competition. This year 87 competitors started off and fewer than half of them finished the boulder-strewn course.

To say that the King of the Hammers is tough on the competition is putting it mildly. The competition kicked off as with 84 competitors setting off on some of the rockiest terrains you might imagine. The KOH race aimed to crawl up and down the boulders on the super-tough course under 14 hours. Only 34 of the starters made it.
The low-down on the KOH
Here's the low-down on the KOH, in case you haven't heard of it. The King of the Hammers began 14 years ago. It was the brainchild of a bunch of racers who thought that it would be a great idea – and great fun -- to drive up and down trails with boulders strewn about in around the Johnson Valley testing their metal – and vehicles, of course – against rocks the size of small battleships.
