North America’s oldest automotive hillclimb returns to the Mt. Washington Auto Road! First run in 1904, the Climb to the Clouds sends drivers up 7.6 miles of steep, winding pavement to the 6,288′ summit. For the first time since 2001, the event runs in back-to-back years.

Planned Schedule (pending final announcement closer to the race):

• Friday, August 13 & Saturday, August 14: Practice runs on the mountain
• Sunday, August 15: Race day, with two timed runs per driver (morning and afternoon)

Up to 80 drivers will take on the mountain from all across North America (and potentially beyond!)

Drivers & Volunteers: Registration opens in early November, and the 2027 driver rules will follow within two weeks. Do not use prior years’ rulebooks! Visit our Climb to the Clouds page for updates.
