Save the Date! πŸ—“ The Great Race will be making a day stop/lunch stop in Waterloo on Sunday, June 22nd. Cars will be parked for display on Park Avenue near the Amphitheater. Stay tuned for more info! πŸ›ž

HERE IT IS! Our finalized 2025 Great Race route with all city stop information. We're excited to kick things off at the Back to the '50s Weekend in St. Paul and we're hitting some amazing cities on our nine-day journey to South Carolina. We expect to see HUGE crowds, and as always, the Great Race city stops are free to the public. This is the way to see these cars up close and personal. SHARE this flyer with your friends to help us spread the word!

Keep in mind we DO NOT publish the exact route that the racers take. This is intentional and it is for competition purposes...aka, it's part of the challenge for the teams. The racers do not receive their detailed course instructions until 30 minutes before departing for each day's route.
