Run for the Gold 2007 Edition

We're gearing up for the 5th edition of Run for the Gold, Oakhurst's Classic Car show! This event, for cars from 1972 or before, takes place annually in Oakhurst, California and is sponsored by Century 21 Ditton Realty and other area businesses.

All proceeds from the show go to the Oakhurst Sierra Sunrise Rotary for distribution to local elementary schools. In 2006 alone, over $30,000 was raised from this single event. For a list of funding recipients, visit our Donations page!

The show takes place on the second weekend of September, kicking off on the afternoon of Friday, September 7th, 2007 and wrapping up Saturday, September 8th, 2007. A complete event listing can be found here!

Registration is on Friday evening or Saturday morning, and the show itself takes place Saturday morning and afternoon, concluding with the Rotary's Choice, "Real" Hot Rod & Best of show awards ceremony, and the Cruise of Champions down Highway 41 to the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino.

Visitors without a classic car are free to join in the fun, with live entertainment, raffles and food on Saturday.

We're all looking forward to the show, and we certainly do hope to see you in Oakhurst this September!
