Our Home on the Hill

Thank You, Empire Michigan!

A very special thank you to the Village of Empire and the residents of Empire for welcoming the Hill Climb into their community.

Closing Wilco Road and bringing an event like this into the heart of a small community requires cooperation, patience and support. Without the Village and the people who call Empire home, the Empire Hill Climb simply would not happen.

The Heart of the Event

A Huge Round of Applause for Our Volunteers

The Empire Hill Climb runs because people show up and make it happen. From course workers and registration to grid, timing, communications, event support, safety and cleanup, our volunteers are the backbone of race weekend.

To every person who gave their time, worked a station, helped a competitor, moved equipment, directed traffic, handled communications or stepped in wherever something needed to be done: thank you.

This event belongs to the people who make it possible. We could not put on the Empire Hill Climb without you.
