The Cairn O'Mount road was one of the most challenging hills to early motorists and it is featured in the 1927 "Rudge Book of the Road". It runs from Banchory to Fettercairn in the North East of Scotland and is still great fun on a modern motorcycle, but can be a challenge to older belt-driven bikes like the early 1920's Connaught which one example has made an appearance in recent runs.

The Grampian Classic Motorcycle Club has organised this event since 1999. The event is open to all motorcycles, sidecar outfits, tricycles and three-wheeled tri-cars although judging is restricted to those vehicles which were manufactured before 31st December 1995.
