National Hill Climb Championship 2021 – Results

The National Hill Climb Championship for 2021 was held Winnats Pass. It is an iconic venue for the event because it is an excellent hill (i.e. really hard – 11% average, 20% max gradient). The hill has a natural amphitheatre around the climb meaning there will be a great atmosphere for both riders and spectators.

It is also by far the most popular hill climb venue for the National with 10 visits. However, this will be the first visit to Winnats since 1977.

The 2021 race was very popular with many entrants and spectators. It was run under difficult conditions with rain and wind making the steep slopes even harder. In the men’s race Tom Bell, broke the decades old course record to fly up the climb in a time of 3:01.6 pipping last year’s winner Andrew Feather. In the women’s event, Bithja Jones narrowly pipped Mary Wilkinson to the title.

2021 Hill Climb Links

The reason the National hasn’t been back for 43 years is that there used to be an A road going up parallel to the hill climb route. However, a landslip meant the closure of the A road and so the hill climb route is now a major through road. Closing the road is much more tricky, these days.

It was very interesting to hear the efforts the organisers went to be able to get the local community to support the road closure. The event will be earlier in the morning so the road can re-open to traffic. Also because of pressure on the road, there will be 300 places – 50% men/women. So getting a qualifying time is likely to prove tricky.

The old course record for the event (men) was 3.11. Peter Greenhalgh (1966)

  1. Hi,
    In the junior women top 3 you have a repeat of the junior men’s results, which is a shame as the daughter of a friend of mine got 2nd, she is there in the full results, but i thought you might like to know so it can be corrected.
