After much discussion & with regret, Jammin on The James 2013 will not take place. We have encountered some obstacles from the hotel double booking the ball room to sponsorship & participation. We realize last years weather effected the run and dock party and alot of boats were still making their way in as late as 7pm. We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication & any inconvience this has caused.
We will be working thru the year to try to change some things up & make it a little more fun.
If you have already submitted your registration we will be returning your check. Also, if you won one of the free entries from the 2012 Jammin on the James Run we will honor those entries in 2014 so please hold on to those.
Thanks

Well that's a buzz kill! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully everything will work out for next year.

WOW I'm SO sorry to hear this. Even with the changes made last year it was a blast, the weather is what it is and can't be helped. I agree that the family friendly push hurt attendance since as a group performance boaters (realistically that's the group that pays for poker runs not family's in cruisers) aren't interested in a family friendly environment we're much more interested in a little debotchery. That said the push was a mandate from the marina so the promoters didn't have much choice, I know they busted their butts last year to put on the best run they could, I think everyone that didnt get hammered by rain had a great time and I for one appreciate the effort they put into the event. I truly look forward to it next year and will do anything I can to help bring it back to the glory days.
That all being said we still have run for a cure (can't say enough good things about that run) whose dock party ran until I believe 4am last year and PPP which is as crazy of an event as you'll find anywhere. Hope to see everyone at those two.

Free docking fees if you register for the poker run before June 1.
What other poker run has waitresses delivering Steamed Shrimp, AHI Tuna and Lolli-Pop lamb chops, and something cold to drink to your boat upon arrival on Saturday, after the Run? We feed you 2 dinners, breakfast, lunch and 2 partys, discounted fuel at the lunch stop and more
HMMMM??????
