Race to the Sky (hillclimb)

The Race to the Sky is an annual automobile and motorcycle gravel hillclimb to the summit of a mountain in the Cardrona Valley of New Zealand.

[1][2] The event has attracted major international drivers to compete to see who is the fastest to ascend the hill.

The Lee family were the former owners of the access road for Snow Farm resort, the route used for the event.

Aitken noted several factors which led to his decision to surrender his right to run the event.

On August 13, 2014 it was announced that Race to the Sky would return in 2015 under the management of Highlands Motorsport Park and Tony Quinn.
