Rod Run officially back after two years

The Queenscliff Rod Run is back for three days of smooth rides and scenic drives.

The annual car event organised by Geelong Street Rodders will start today for registered drivers, with the main public activity scheduled for Sunday.

Geelong Street Rodders president Greg Morrissey said he expected more than 900 cars to showcase at Sunday’s Show ‘N’ Shine and that the event would benefit the community.

“We have activities planned for entrants over the weekend and then this Sunday is the day that’s geared around having the public come to have a look at all the cars,” he said.

“We’ll have a live band, there’ll be 20 plus trade stands, and food and coffee vans, but most of the food will actually be handled by local community groups.

“We try to involve all community groups so all of Queenscliff gets a little bit of something out of it.”

Mr Morrissey said this would be the club’s first official and structured Rod Run after it was cancelled for the past two years.

“The last time we ran the official event was 2020,” he said.

“So, 2021 and 22 all the hot rods were still in Queenscliff, but there was no official event.”

Vehicle entries for the event are closed but spectators can view the cars this Sunday for a $5 entrance fee with proceeds going to Queenscliff Point Lonsdale Lions Club.
