Carolina Relic Run 2021

Shadowlands Campground
200-216 Mullinix rd
Troy, NC
DISCLAIMER - This is super long... So I tried to make it easier to find things with BIG section titles.... GOOD LUCK!.

The Carolina Relic Run is in it's 6th 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, 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 run for 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.
COVID-19 NOTICE: Please do not attend if you or anyone you have been in contact with lately has tested positive or is exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19. During the event, you will be solely responsible for practicing social distancing and wearing a mask when not possible. The outdoor location is obviously preferable, but we ask that during the group events folks allow enough space between groups as an extra level of safety.

EVENT LOCATION MAP:
Campsite Details:
From HWY 109 you will turn onto Mullinix road. Follow approx 0.5 miles and make a left up a gravel entrance (we'll have a sign out). Shadowlands sits on 51 acres, some wooded and some wide open. There is a covered pavilion on location that has bathrooms and showers. As you pull in to the right of the pavilion you will find the wooded section prime for tent camping. Trailers, campers and RV's have full access to the fields but please park any empty trailers where indicated. On the map you will see a blue oval.
This year we have a "QUIET CAMPING" area. Strategically placed on the other side of a small hill, this should allow those of you with light sleeping or younger kids a spot that's away from the potential late night noise. Which is a nice segway into this:
Family Friendly:
Like all other Olde North State Cruisers events, this one is also open to your entire family, including children and dogs. Please be thoughtful, courteous and cautious and leave at home any member of the family that might not be well socialized or be otherwise unpredictable at a gathering of this type.
Kids 17 and under are always FREE to attend. Please let us know the number you are bringing so we can plan ahead.

More important details... See something we missed? Ask and we will add it here:
- To participate in official event trail rides, vehicles must pass ONSC Vehicle Inspection Requirements which can be found HERE
- Registration for the event does not included the daily OHV Trail Passes, which can be purchased at the Eldorado Outpost at a cost of $5 per day. You can grab a paper map of the OHV trail system while you’re there or ask us at the ONSC registration desk for a laminated past event map of the trails.
- Non Relics FAQs
- Wah, wah, wah...?
- Yes we know.... You hate that your truck is just barely not a relic there are support groups available
- Yes, you're right it's completely arbitrary
- There are no plans to change it
- I don't have a relic, should I still go?
- MANY of our members do not have relics and choose to attend year after year... Why?
- First, it's a great location, great people, trails and great fun
- Only a portion of the event is limited to relics
- We highly encourage non-relic owners to organize activities during the "relic only" portion of the event (specific run and 'car show') or come and be part of the fun as a spectator and vote on the fan favorites.
- All other events are non relic specific:
- Costume competition for you and the kids (all years included)
- Raffle/Food/Fun/Trails/Camping
- Wah, wah, wah...?
