Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb (MWARBH)
Every third Saturday in August, 500 cyclists ascend a 7.6 mile, uphill ride to the summit of the highest peak in the northeast. With an average grade of 12%, extended sections of 18% and "The Wall" at 22%, Mount Washington is one tough Hillclimb. Velo News calls it, "the ride of a lifetime!" Learn more about this iconic event at mwarbh.org.
Tin Mountain took the reins of the Hillclimb in 1991 and it is now our largest fundraising event. Proceeds from the event allow us to share our vision, a future where nature serves as the ultimate classroom, inspiring individuals and communities to be stewards of the natural world.
