Magoebaskloof Hill Climb

ABOUT

The Magoebaskloof Hillclimb is an event that has been in a planning stage for many years and has finally reached a point where the fruition thereof has become a reality. It is driven by a passion for the breathtaking beauty of Magoebaskloof;  high speed thrills, and bringing people together.

The event aims to become on of the most spectacular hillclimbs in South Africa, introducing the climbing, winding roads of the great Magoebaskloof pass, unparalleled anywhere in South Africa to the avid racer, while spectators, being individuals, friends or families, enjoy the adrenaline filled event from the comfort of the spectator points nestled in the forest or at local establishments. All the while having access to the wonderful tourist attractions that Magoebaskloof has to offer.

For those unsure what a hillclimb is, it is a motor race up a steep incline against the clock, pushing drivers to achieve their best or fight for the coveted position of King of the Hill.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to partnering with the community, local businesses and hospitality service
