2026 Fall Drive to Starved Rock.

We’re glad to share a save the date for our Windy City BMW CCA Fall Drive to Starved Rock. Join us on Saturday, October 17 as we head out for a relaxed group drive with two clear starting groups. Group 1 will depart from Chicago. Group 2 will meet in Joliet at a convenient gas station right near the I-55 and I-80 interchange, making it an easy spot to fuel up and join in before we head out together. Group 1 will depart from Chicago at 8:45 AM. Group 2 will gather in Joliet at 9:30 AM, and we’ll regroup and roll out together at 9:50 AM for the final stretch to Starved Rock State Park. The plan is to arrive around 11:30 AM in time for lunch at the Starved Rock Lodge. After lunch, feel free to stay and enjoy the park, take a hike, or head back when it works for you.
