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.
