According to the regatta permit issued by the Missouri Highway patrol Water patrol Division, the race event permit is listed under an organization called “Lake Charity Poker Run” although the event is not a poker run, it’s an offshore race. It will be similar to Lake Race, but not near as many boats.
The day is filled with boating, fun, family and friends all while raising money for local Lake Martin charities. This year, participants will start at Kowaliga Marina and end at The Ridge Marina for food and awards.
Due to COVID-19, this year’s Poker Run will have a few modifications in order to ensure everyone’s safety. Russell Marine staff, Lions Club members and participants will be required to wear masks. We have changed the route, and the final stop will now be at The Ridge Marina in order to allow for social distancing. Social distancing will be enforced. There will be no alcohol sales at The Ridge Marina after NOON and unfortunately, no live music.
ENTRY FEE IS $150 which includes an official event T-Shirt, a Lake Martin Summer T-Shirt, a Russell Marine bag, koozies and a pirate flag. Please make check payable to Alexander City Lions Club and return with registration to any Russell Marine location or mail to:
