elcome Participants and Spectators to the 41st Annual Rod Run to the End of the World®, proudly presented by the Beach Barons Car Club.

It’s my honor to welcome you to this incredible celebration of classic cars, community, and tradition. For over four decades, this show has grown into one of the

most anticipated automotive events in the Pacific Northwest — fueled by the hard work of our members and the energy of thousands of enthusiasts like you.

The event takes place at Wilson Field in Ocean Park, Washington — a site that has become synonymous with our club’s spirit and dedication. Carefully maintained and improved by our members over the years, this venue is more than just a location—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when people with passion come together.

Whether you’re showcasing a car or simply enjoying the view, we thank you for being part of something special. This weekend is a celebration of craftsmanship, horsepower, and the friendships that form around the love of the road.

To our spectators, we invite you to fully enjoy the sights, sounds, and stories that make the Rod Run such a unique experience. Your excitement fuels the atmosphere, and we’re grateful to share it with you.

As we mark our 41st year, we encourage you to make new memories, spark new connections, and discover why so many call this the best car show in the region. You can visit www.beachbarons.com for updates. Please go to our club’s Facebook page (Facebook.com/groups/ beachbarons) to share your own Rod Run story and post photos of your car.

A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our volunteers, county officials, public works crews, law enforcement, local businesses, and—most of all—our dedicated Beach Barons members. This event simply couldn’t happen without your incredible teamwork and support.

Finally, please help us keep the event safe and welcoming for everyone by observing the following rules:

• No pets on the field.

• No open carry.

• No alcohol consumption during the event.

Thank you for joining us in making this year’s Rod Run unforgettable.

See you at the show!

Respectfully, Mark Mansell President, Beach Barons Car Club

ROD RUN CRUISE

41st Annual Rod Run to the End of the World ®

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

EVENING CRUISES

T

he Peninsula’s annual Rod Run weekend is a loud, proud tribute to the golden age of American car manufacturing.

Car-lovers from all over the West roar into town to take part in one of the largest hot-rod shows on the West Coast, for a weekend of car shows, cruises, and events.

There are more than 800 official Rod Run entries at Ocean Park’s Wilson Field, plus many who bring pet vehicles to the beach for informal cruises and showing off.

As early as Thursday evening, spectators begin setting up tents and RVs in relatives’ yards and staking out good curb-side seats for the traditional Friday and Saturday evening cruises in Long Beach.

The official Saturday cruise highlights the communities of the Peninsula’s north end, starting at the Beach Barons’ Wilson Field. Cruise cars will turn right onto Sandridge Road as needed to keep traffic flowing smoothly. Another right turn will be made on 250th Pl. to U St. then onto Ocean Park and Surfside through the historic village of

Oysterville and Nahcotta and back to Ocean Park. A special award will be given to the best cruiser by the Ocean Park Chamber of Commerce at the awards ceremony on Sunday.

Starting as early as Thursday but reaching a crescendo on Saturday before receding Sunday, unofficial cruising is a fun and exciting activity up and down U.S. Highway 101/Pacific Avenue.

With so many cars and people in close proximity, it’s important to obey all traffic laws and follow the Rod Run cruise signs. Resist the temptation to burn rubber or engage in other tomfoolery that might place spectators or vehicle occupants at risk. Don’t plan on getting anywhere in a hurry on this jam-packed weekend — passing the car in front of you won’t accomplish anything.

Some see Rod Run as an opportunity for a farewell-to-summer party, cheering the cruisers on with red plastic cups in hand. But the people who have invested tens of thousands of dollars in their lovingly restored rides tend to take the event much more seriously. From Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, they stand at attention by their Bel-Airs and Mustangs and Darts and Model-Ts, with chamois cloths in hand, ready to spit-shine at a moment’s notice.

2024 Friday Evening Rod Run Cruise. Spectators began to find their way to downtown Long Beach, where several blocks along Pacific Avenue were inundated with people lining the street in anticipation of the evening poker run. The intersection at Pacific and Bolstad Avenue became one big block party as the classic cars cruised past.

41st Annual Rod Run to

the End of the World ®

GET READY TO ROLL — SLOWLY

The Slow Drag competition on the Ilwaco waterfront has become a hugely popular start to the weekend of car-related festivities headlined by the great Rod Run to the End of the World in Ocean Park.

ponsored by the Ilwaco Merchant’s Association, this year’s event on Friday, Sept. 5, is the 23rd in the series.

SClassic cars, hot rods and rat rods are all welcome, so long as they are visually interesting, nonpolitical and family-friendly. They must be street legal with working brake lights.

Racing starts on Howerton Way at the Port of Ilwaco at 5 p.m. Vehicle owners must check in between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with practice between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Any participant not checked in by 3 p.m. forfeits their entry and fee; no exceptions. No same-day entries.

To race, two cars line up, accelerate to 20 mph then shift to neutral. The one which coasts best to the finish line — a fire hose filled with sand — advances to the next round; those placing second are eliminated after two losses.

A TRIBUTE TO BOB LANGENDORFER

May 27, 1944 to July 28, 2025

In the early 1980s a group of hot rod enthusiasts in Ocean Park led by Bob Langendorfer decided a hot rod club was in order.

Someone mentioned that back in the late 1950s a car club had existed on the peninsula and they called themselves the “Beach Barons.” Although the club no longer existed, it was decided to use the name for this new club.

Next came the idea of how to promote tourism in the northwest end of the peninsula.

What about a car show with the catchy name “Rod Run to the End of the World”?

The first show was held at the field across from the Ocean Park School on Labor Day weekend. Sixty-plus cars showed up. Today’s show has expanded to Wilson Field of 20-plus acres and 800-plus entries.

Bob Langendorfer served as the first Beach Barons president from 1982 to 1990 and then again from 1993 until 1996.

The club continues to refine, improve and expand the event by providing one of the best and largest auto shows in the Northwest.

Who would have thought in 1982 or 1956 that the Beach Barons and the “Rod Run to the End of the World” would be celebrating, in 2025, 41 years of a very successful car club and show event?
