Baldwin Street in New Zealand is one of it's kind. According to the Guiness Book of World Records, this relatively short street (under 350 metres) is the world's steepest residential street. It's rising from 30 m to 100 m above sea level at the top. Since 1988, Baldwin Street is the venue for the Baldwin Street Gutbuster - an annual event where athletes run from the base to the top of the street and back down again.
