The King of the Mountain is a 5 mile uphill bicycle race between Clearfield, PA and Rockton, PA. The race is done in a time trial format with riders going at 1 minute intervals.
The route starts off with a slight incline for the first mile, then averages about an 8% grade until your crest the hill, where you can sprint about 1/4 to 1/2 mile to the finish line. (The road is State Route 322, which has a smooth, wide shoulder.)
(P.S. there are great prizes, t-shirts, and post-ride food.)
