The East Coast’s Largest
Vintage Land Cruiser Rally

April 17-21 2024

The Carolina Relic Run is in it’s 9th year and was conceived and created to gather and admire vintage Toyota Land Cruisers, AKA “Relics”.

With a weekend of picturesque North Carolina Mountain camping, Uwharrie trail riding, great food, live bluegrass music, raffle prizes, a relic car show, and a family friendly atmosphere you’ll be sure to have a great time! We invite owners of all Toyota 4 Wheel Drive vehicles of any year to be part of the weekend of fun. For the owners of relics, there will be a relic specific car show and varying difficulty of group runs coordinated for like-minded drivers and their vehicles with build dates of 1990 and prior.

The event is organized by the Olde North State Cruisers, a not-for-profit chapter of the Toyota Land Cruiser Association (TLCA). Uwharrie National Forest is approximately 51,000 acres in size and offers outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, fishing, swimming, boating and approximately 20 miles of trails designated for off-roading.
