What's a Poker Run?
A Poker Run is a powerboat rally that travels to 5 different locations to pick up a playing card. At the end of the event the 5 cards are turned in and prizes are awarded for the top 3 poker hands. Poker runs are controlled events that promote responsible boating by powerboat enthusiasts. They are not a race. Participants travel at their own speed. There is no benefit to being "first" to any of the card stops. A Poker Run is a fun filled event enjoyed by participants and spectators alike. Poker Runs enhance the communities they are run in by generating revenue for local business, providing a spectator event for tourists and most importantly, donating proceeds to a chosen charity or cause.
