Pickerington, Ohio - Fans will have the opportunity to witness talented amateur motorcycle and ATV hillclimbers at the 2015 AMA Hillclimb Grand Championship Aug. 8-9, hosted by the Pioneer Motorcycle Club in Waterford, OH.

"We're looking forward to working with the Pioneer Motorcycle Club for this event and we anticipate a challenging hill and a well-run event."
The country's best amateur motorcycle and ATV hillclimbers will make a run in an attempt to get to the top of the hill, each determined to get the fastest time.
