About this Event
The Cobble Wobble — the original and only cycle race to climb Catherine Hill — is the most fun and inclusive cycling event on the calendar. Still run by its founders, it’s professional, passionate, and packed with personality: a celebration that transcends traditional cycling culture and connects with people through pure, joyful spectacle.
It’s a hill climb sprint up the brutally steep cobbled street of Catherine Hill in Frome. Think cheese rolling meets the Red Bull Soapbox Race — but uphill, and on two wheels. It’s ridiculous. It’s spectacular. And it’s a full-hearted celebration of cycling in all its forms. Faux prestige meets playful absurdity, attracting everyone from everyday riders to Olympians. Past competitors include World Champions and legends like Michal Prokop, Dan Craven, and Chris Akrigg.
The format is simple and exciting: riders take on the hill one at a time, with the fastest time winning. We welcome all age groups and bike types — from e-bikes to cargo bikes, fancy dress to folding bikes — with a dramatic night-time finale under the spotlights. The event features live commentary, music, street food, coffee, and bars, creating a festival atmosphere in the heart of Frome.
