London’s only closed-road hill climb bike race

The Rollapaluza Urban Hill Climb is an 800m, lung-busting, uphill sprint held on Swains Lane, Highgate, London. Now in it’s second year the event has proven to be hugely popular with a broad range of cyclists as well as local residents and spectators.

The Urban Hill Climb, generates a unique “alpine” atmosphere in North London,  allowing participants and spectators to experience the   cheering crowds lining the slopes usually only witnessed in the mountain stages of the Tour de France.

This event is part of Rollapaluza’s commitment to bring a more diverse range of cycling events to the capital alongside our famous roller-race events and the UK’s largest Cyclo Cross race, the nocturnal “Muddy Hell
