A Celebration of Tradition, Community & Classic Machines

Originating as the Key to the Hills Rod Run, this event has grown into an annual community staple in downtown Boerne, bringing together enthusiasts, restorers, and families for a shared passion of American automotive heritage.

New for 2025:

• Registration now accepts American-made cars and trucks built in 1985 or earlier-a change aimed at inclusivity and heritage (note: vehicles must be running and drivable; race cars are welcome).
• Registration is easy and includes on-site payment options. Friday evening (6–8 p.m.) and Saturday morning (8–10 a.m.).

Awards, Awards, Awards

All registered vehicles are automatically considered for awards-no need to pre‐enter specific categories. Recognitions are scheduled for 3 p.m. at the gazebo at Main Plaza. While 2024 categories included Best Ford, Best Chevy, Best Muscle Car, Best Truck, Best in Show, and more, they may be updated for 2025.
