Hill Climb 2025

Hill Climb Championships 2025

Our annual club hill climb competition will again run on the Brockham Hill course which starts in Holybourne.

This year we will hold the event on Saturday 11th October 2025, with sign on starting at 9:00 and event start time at 10:00.

This years event brings added excitement as our generous sponsors have come together to build a prize pot exceeding £500 in both cash and cycling goodies.

With both equal prize money for both the men’s and women’s open events we really hope to see you there putting out maximum watts, and of course bringing that hill climb cheer that we’ve become accustomed to as the leaves fall at the end of the British cycling calendar.

Registration and the entrance fee of £6 can either be made via the Brockham Hill Hill Climb Event Page on the CTT Website for CTT members or non Alton Cycling Club Members, or Alton Cycling Club Members can register and pay on the day.
