First held in 1946 during Laconia Motorcycle Week, Gunstock Hill Climb remains one of Gunstock's oldest traditions. Amateur motorcycle and dirtbike riders fight their way up the historic 70-meter Torger Tokle Memorial Ski Jump hill. While the event has evolved over the decades, the core of Bike Week remains. This family event, drawing over 7,000 attendants annually, is a fixture of Laconia Motorcycle Week.
