The Great Race 2025
June 23
We are incredibly excited to announce that the Great Race 2025 is coming to Pontiac! On Monday, June 23rd, a hosted lunch stop will be held in Downtown Pontiac for the famous vintage car rally. Each stop on the Great Race is free to the public and spectators will be able to visit with the participants and to look at the cars for several hours. It is common for racers to allow kids to climb in the cars for a first-hand look.
The 2025 Great Race will begin on Saturday, June 21 in St. Paul, Minnesota, surrounded by a crowd of thousands at the MSRA Back to the 50’s Weekend car show at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Nine days later, on Sunday, June 29, the race will finish in Irmo, South Carolina, near Lake Murray. In between the start and finish cities are approximately 2,300 miles of competition and 17 hosted city stops in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Pontiac Tourism will release more information as the event draws closer, so keep an eye out on our website and Facebook page for more to be released soon!
