GAW sponsers the City Hill Climb 2025

As steep as it gets!

The spectacular City Hill Climb Race took again place in the old town historic center of Salzburg / Austria beginning of September.

GAW technologies is one of the sponsors of this event that is open to professionals, amateurs, hobby cyclists and junior categories.

The race is an ultimate cycling spectacle in an urban setting: during intense sprints, cyclists have to achieve maximum performance over a very short distance (900 meter).

While the route of this extraordinary sprint competition from Salzburg's Kapitelplatz up to the fortress is only a little less than a kilometer long, it is still extremely demanding! With gradients of up to 32 percent, 120 meter of difference in altitude, a final section with gravel and several curves and narrow sections, it is probably the steepest race for cyclists in Austria. Also the setting is unique: the athletes fight their way past centuries-old castle walls, landmarked buildings and modern art, cheered by the crowd.

Congratulations to all participants and especially to the winners, for example Theresa Rindler / Daniel Federspiel and Didi de Vries / Simon Nemec in the Elite groups!
