Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb (MWARBH)
Every third Saturday in August, 600 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 quickly became our largest fundraiser. Proceeds from the event help Tin Mountain further its mission with more environmental education programs, summer camp offerings, conservation research projects and additional community nature programs.
