25th Anniversary Poker Run Sponsorship & Participation Opportunities

The Lake Chelan Poker Run: A Tradition of Fun, Sun, and Community

Have you ever wondered what our annual Poker Run is all about? It’s more than just a day on the water; it's a floating celebration with a rich history, open to everyone!

What is a Poker Run?

Imagine a scenic adventure on Lake Chelan. Participants navigate their boats to five designated stops, drawing a playing card at each one. At the end of the day, the boaters with the best poker hands win fantastic prizes. It’s not a race—it’s a game of chance that combines the thrill of boating with friendly competition.

Our History

For years, the Lake Chelan Poker Run has been a cornerstone of summer fun, bringing together boating enthusiasts from all over. What started as a small gathering has grown into a major charity-focused event, raising funds for local causes and scholarships. It’s a tradition built on community, camaraderie, and a shared love for the lake.

All Boats Welcome!

Whether you have a performance boat, a pontoon, a cruiser, or a family runabout, you are welcome here. The Poker Run is designed for all types of boats and boaters. It’s about creating connections and making memories on the water.

Join us for a safe and fun day, support local causes, and be a part of this incredible scenic boating adventure. We can't wait to see you on the lake
