The Third Annual Hill Country Mile Rod Run returns to downtown Boerne on Saturday, October 11, 2025, featuring hundreds of classic American vehicles, live music, and family activities that highlight automotive heritage. The event begins with a Pre-Show Party on Friday, October 10, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at West San Antonio Road, where participants can register their vehicles and enjoy live music.
Registration for the car show costs $40 per vehicle and includes an event T-shirt, Sunday drive map, and swag. The main event on Saturday runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., transforming Boerne's downtown into a classic car showcase. Awards will be presented at 3 p.m. at the gazebo at Main Plaza, with all registered vehicles eligible for various categories.
In 2025, the event has expanded its criteria to include American-made cars and trucks built in 1985 or earlier, as well as race cars, broadening participation. Larry Woods, Director of Visit Boerne, emphasized the event's role as a community staple, uniting enthusiasts, restorers, and families around a shared passion for automotive history.
The weekend concludes with the Sunday Rod Run, a leisurely cruise through Hill Country roads, encouraging visitors to explore local lodging, shopping, and dining options along the Hill Country Mile. This expansion and inclusive approach aim to enhance cultural appreciation and economic benefits for the region.
