Knox Mountain Hill Climb
The Knox Mountain Hill climb is an annual event. Testing cars and drivers on a paved road course of ten major turns, climbing 800 vertical feet over 2.2 miles.
For over 60 years, Knox Mountain has hosted the longest, annually-running paved hill climb in North America. The Hill Climb attracts top drivers from throughout the Pacific Northwest, looking for the challenge and thrill of being fastest.
Cars are run one at a time, each trying to reach the top in the shortest elapsed time. Drivers/cars compete in various classes from open-wheeled formula cars to powerful, large engine GT cars, with each hoping to be “King of the Hill” by having the fastest time of the weekend.
Come out and experience the thrill May Long Weekend Annually. Gates open at 9:00 am and are located on Broadway Avenue.

The 2.2 mile (3.5 km) paved road to the summit is narrow with off-camber corners, steep grades, and climbs approximately 800 feet (245 meters) in elevation for an average grade of 6.7%. The current hill record is 1m:34.903, held by Aran Cook of Edmonton, Alberta.
