Kop Hill Climb 2024

The climb was established in 1910 and continued until 1925 when, due to a minor accident involving a spectator, the RAC stewards stopped the meeting and, within a week, declined to grant any further permits for high-speed contests on public roads in the UK.

The last competitive event on public roads was held on 28 March 1925, making the Kop Hill Climb the last competitive race run on a public highway in the UK.

The event was revived in 2009 at Kop Hill as a non-competitive charity event celebrating the history of cars and motorcycles.

Throughout the day, exhibitors climb the hill with cars and motorcycles to entertain the spectators in the grandstand and on the viewing platforms.

The climb is 903 yards (826 m) long.

The event takes place on a public road. The gradient is 1:6, leading to 1:5, with a short 1:4 at its steepest at the top of the climb.
