Welcome to the Queen Wihelmina Rod Run!

Join in on the fun as 200 street rods and hot rods descend on the small, quaint town of Mena, Arkansas in the Ouachita Mountains.


You won't want to miss out on this 2-Day event. The winding mountain road leading up to Queen Wilhelmina Lodge, our "Castle in the Sky", will put your car and your driving through its paces. We offer two chances to Show-N-Shine, and numerous prizes and trophies. 50 years running, and we aren't slowing down yet!
