2013 week 3: Adrien Costa showing his broken collarbone isn't holding him back as he shatters the Low-Key course record and Strava KOM (Tom Everman)

Results are listed here from the Low-Key archives, sorted by time for each climb. Some years start and/or finish time differ slightly, such as with Kings Mt Road where after 1995 the start moved from Entrance Way to Greer. Results are ranked by time first, score second. Score is calculated using a simple percent-of-median-speed formula, with time adjustments for division. These scores will generally differ from those calculated in the results for that particular year, since the scoring scheme has evolved. Tandems are split between 1998, when they were counted as single participants, and other years, when the individual riders have been counted separately
