Britain's Dual Up Hill Bike Challenge Returns to Park Street, Bristol on 18th February !

Park Street in the heart of Bristol will be the venue as 32 cyclists come together in an attempt to settle the fierce debate of which kind of bike is best uphill.

Red Bull Hill Chasers takes place on the famous Bristol street starting at 7pm on Saturday February 18th. 16 invited elite and 16 amateur cyclists from BMX, mountain bike, road cycling and fixed-gear compete in a series of gruelling head-to-head knock-out rounds on the unforgiving incline.

Riders will be paired randomly giving amateur riders the chance to compete against the elite. Look out for some big name competitors!

A knockout format will halve the field – until just two riders remain for the ultimate showdown. This year, the course has been shortened and pinch points added to suit the race equally to all disciplines.
