Behind the scenes, live coverage, and official photography from Knox Mountain Hill Climb

From the first launch off the line to the final sprint toward the summit, the event delivered its signature mix of adrenaline and precision. But beyond the race itself, it was the photographers who added a new layer of energy—hunting for that perfect shot where speed, scenery, and split-second timing collide. Perched along winding corners, crouched low near apexes, or framed against sweeping Okanagan views, each photographer brought their own vision to the challenge. The result? A stunning collection of images that don't just show the race—they make you feel it. The photo contest has quickly become more than a side event. It's a celebration of automotive culture through a different lens, where storytelling matters just as much as lap times. With a dozen talented shooters in the mix this year, the competition was fierce, and the bar has officially been raised. One thing's clear: at Knox Mountain, the race isn't just on the road—it's happening behind the camera too.

Between runs up the twisting 3.5-kilometre course, spectators won't just be watching cars climb—they'll be exploring a street-level culinary tour. From smoky BBQ and gourmet burgers to global street eats, sweet treats, and refreshing drinks, the event promises a variety of Kelowna food truck favourites.
