2026 Poker Run
Classic Cars. Scenic Stops. Cash to WIN!
Join us for one of the most anticipated highlights of the event—our 48th Annual Run to the Sun Poker Run, happening Thursday, October 22nd from 9 AM to 11 AM. This fun-filled run invites registrants to hit the road, collect your lucky cards from designated stops, and compete for cash prizes while soaking in the best of Lake Havasu City.
The Poker Run concludes in high gear at Havasu 95 Speedway, where participants are welcomed with open arms and a well-earned break.
This iconic Lake Havasu City venue provides the perfect setting to wind down the run—with plenty of space to park and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
Thanks to the generous support of Calvary Baptist Church, dawgs and water will be served beginning at noon—just what you need after 22 miles of memories. Whether you're comparing cards, checking out the cars around you, or simply enjoying the energy of the day, the Speedway brings it all home.
It’s more than just a finish line—it’s where community, tradition, and class come together.
About Run to the Sun
Born out of a passion for classic vehicles, the Run to the Sun car show has evolved from a modest 1978 event into a premier gathering, now drawing over 800 entries.
Initially called "Camp-O-Rama," it began with just 28 vehicles but has grown to feature a diverse array of 1977 and older classic, restored, and hot rod cars and trucks. Also featured are 1978 to current year American Factory Muscles and Corvettes.
