The run traditionally begins at the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan, NY, and ends at the Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach, CA. To this day, there are only a few people both crazy and determined enough to attempt the coast-to-coast run, especially with the goal of a new Cannonball record.
The Cannonball Run is an unparalleled street race with one goal: drive from New York to California in the least amount of time. Let’s dive into all things Cannonball and look into the Cannonball Run record books.
