While snow covers many parts of the rest of the country in the winter, Lake Havasu City enjoys much warmer weather. That provides a huge incentive for people to come and play in the thousands of acres of BLM surrounding our fair town. One of the great events we enjoy happens to be the Desert Bash Poker Run. Since it tends to sell out pretty quickly, you really need to register as soon as possible.

What: Desert Bash Poker Run 2024

Desert Bash Poker Run 2024

Registration for this year's event opens up on September 15th. Just like the Desert Storm Poker Run that takes place in the spring, participants in Desert Bash race around the desert to pick up a card at each of five different checkpoints. These cards create their poker hand that they turn in at the end. The person with the best hand wins the grand prize.

This year's checkpoints include returning companies The A-Team Real Estate Professionals, Hangar 24, and Just Money Motorsports. However, two new companies join the team: A & B Propane and Concord General Contracting. If you want to showcase your business to a huge audience, consider becoming a sponsor. Sponsorship levels range from a logo on a banner ($250) all the way up to the presenting sponsor ($6500). There are four other levels in between to fit any marketing budget. All you need to do is to contact the Chamber's events organizer before November 22nd, 2024.

Again, spots in this poker run are extremely limited. Once they sell out, that's it. So mark your calendars for September 15th. Then, visit the Lake Havasu Chamber of Commerce to sign up for a position in this year's Desert Bash. This event brings offroad fun to a whole other level!
