Our lake stays busy pretty much all year round. Fishing, boating, parasailing, water-skiing, jet skiing. All of these take place 12 months a year in Lake Havasu. But some of the best stuff happens when the triple-digit heat of summer starts to taper off. Back in April, the Desert Storm Poker Run took over the lake. Next month, the Monster Storm Poker Run hits town.

Monster Storm Poker Run 2021
The weekend’s event kicks off with a pool party at London Bridge Resort’s Kokomo pool. Between 3 pm and 5 pm on Friday, October 1st, participants and fans of the poker run mingle and party poolside. Registered “runners” receive discounts on the drink of the day during the party.
On Saturday, the racing begins. From 10 am to 12 pm, contestants race to five different stops around the lake. At each stop, they pick up one card. By the end of the day’s run, they create a five-card poker hand. Then, they turn their hand in for a chance at one of many great prizes. After the race, head back to the Kokomo pool for another poolside celebration from 3 pm and 5 pm. A costume party, awards presentation, and after-party fun for participants in the Monster Storm Poker Run takes place in the resort’s conference center later on.
How to Be a Part of the Run
Unfortunately, registration for the poker run is now closed. However, the event coordinators always encourage fans to cheer on their favorite teams. But if you want a more active role, Storm Poker Runs welcomes volunteers to help with setting up and tearing down the venue, checking in racers, selling apparel, assisting at the dock, and other positions. In lieu of cash payment, volunteers receive VIP tickets, yummy food, a commemorative T-shirt, a swag bag, and a poker hand of their own to enter for prizes. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Christina Crane at (623) 238-1330 or via email.
