An uphill battle for recognition in the record books continues, after a street in North Wales was stripped of its title as world's steepest by Dunedin's Baldwin Street.
Harlech aims to hold the 'World's Steepest Street Race' at the end of March, on the road leading past Harlech Castle.
"Ffordd Pen Llech in Harlech shot to fame when it 'stole' the title of 'World's Steepest Street' from Baldwin Street in New Zealand," say event organisers Camu I'r Copa 'Always Aim High'.
Although this title was repealed and returned to Dunedin by Guinness in 2020, the organisers say - to their knowledge - there aren't any races up Baldwin Street.
This gives them the green light for the record-breaking race.
Around 400 runners are signed up to take part in the hill climb. The course which begins at the foot of the castle covers 6.2 kilometres of trail - including the controversial 37.45 per cent inside bend, upon which their 2019 record bid hinged.
