STOPS BY LOCATION:
This 3rd annual poker run is a way for us to have fun, ride together, raise money for a worthwhile cause, and maybe win some prizes. For everything to be fair, the hands will be dealt by the Soldiers at the final check point site. There will not actually be any cards to worry about picking up (or losing) along the way.
Participants may buy as many hands that they want at the beginning of the run.
Participants not riding may buy a hand if they have someone to ride the designated route for them. At the beginning of the course, participants may purchase additional hands for $10 each. The rider holding the best poker hand at the completion of the Poker Run will be awarded the top prize. Prizes may also be awarded for worst hand.
