The Wolf Ridge Hillclimb is the culmination of several years worth of hard work to bring a hillclimb back into the Western NC area. We feel that this event could potentially be greater than the famed Chimney Rock Hillclimb. The site is challenging yet fun and also safe.

The hillclimb is just under 2 miles in length, and has approximately 800 feet in elevation change from the starting area to the finish at the top of the mountain. The course has two large, wide sweeping turns nearing 180 degrees. Views from the top of the mountain are absolutely breath-taking, as can be seen in the photo galleries page.

The site is located only 5 minutes from a major highway, I-26 from Tennessee to North Carolina, has easy access to fuel (stanard 93 octane pump fuel.) And has lodging available only seconds away from the hillclimb site.

It is VERY important to note that this hillclimb is being held in Madison County, NC. Madison is a DRY county, which means for those that are not familiar with this term, that no alcohol can be sold within the county, distributed at the event, or given away as gifts or prizes.

VERY IMPORTANT: This event is being held on PRIVATE property, not a public roadway. There is construction ongoing, and construction vehicles, contractor vehicles, and private vehicles use this road. ANY PERSON caught "running the course" at excessive speed may face charges of trespassing amongst other potential infractions. Also, if we receive information that links anyone to speeding or reckless driving on the road they will be banned from the event and from the site.
