The Cars & Coffee Cleveland Driving Events Are Returning After A 2-Year Hiatus!

​

We will be starting the drives off with a soft relaunch of a Fall Run 2025 with an all-new area and route to enjoy. Join us for a day of some fast and fun sweeping and twisty country backroads roads through Central Ohio during the fall foliage and scenery. We will be visiting a few sights along the way, perfect for those fall car shots! We will conclude with afternoon lunch in town with two restaurant options. Save room for some ice cream after too!

​

For safety and easier coordination, we will be limiting the drive to 20 participating cars. This is open to all makes/models. However, the routes will be more fun for those with a performance-oriented vehicles.

​

Like in past drives we've hosted. We will be utilizing Google Maps and Joinr apps for the event. Please ensure you have both downloaded, installed, and accounts setup for use. As we will be traveling through areas with little to no cell reception, we will be pre-downloading Google Maps. Instructions to pre-download Google Maps areas will be sent out to registered participants prior to the event date.

​

Communication will be very important to navigate the backroads, so we will be utilizing encrypted radio communications. Rental Radios will be available from Cars & Coffee Cleveland (1 per car) for a fully refundable $20 rental fee. Fee will be due (in cash only at this time) at the start of the event when picking up your radio. Upon completion of event, return your radio to Cars & Coffee Cleveland staff to get you full $20 rental fee refunded back. This fee is to only to ensure that radios which are lost, stolen, or damaged are covered for replacement. If you would like to purchase the radio for $20 to keep for future drives, please let the staff know and we will provide you with all radio accessories and charger for radio at the start of the event. While we will be utilizing radios and strongly encourage renting one, it is NOT required to have a radio for this drive. 

​

An email will go out to all registered participants the day before the event with a link to the participant portal which will contain the Joinr group info, pre-downloaded maps instructions, and the Google Maps routes.

RENTAL RADIOS

For communication between cars, we utilize encrypted UHF Radios. While a radio is not required for the FALL RUN 2025, it is strongly encouraged to rent one. The rental fee is $20 (must be in cash only upon collecting the radio at the start of the event) and once the radio is returned to staff, the rental fee will be fully refunded.​

​

IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER

In the event of bad weather (rain) we will issue a cancelation and reschedule for the established rain date. This would be due to safety, as traveling these roads can be dangerous in the wet.

​

ADDITION FALL RUN DATES

We understand that limiting the event to only 20 cars on only one date might not work for many who want to join. So we will be looking to do more than one date through the month of October to do one or two more Fall Run on this route. If the rain date of October 4th does not need to be utilized and it does not rain on that particular day, we will do another run then and open up new registration to those that have not done the previous run. We will keep you all updated on this here on this event page along with our social media pages.

So register for free now to claim your spot if you would like to enjoy the Fall Run with us!
