What is the Poker Run Contest?

Poker Run participants getting ready to start the rally

A Poker Run is a combination of a navigation rally and poker game.  Here's how it works.  Registered entries are given rules, instructions, route directions, and are launched from the Poker Run Start at regular intervals.  Participants follow the navigational route instructions from checkpoint to checkpoint through as many as ten or twelve checkpoints to the finish line.  Neither speed nor time are considerations in winning the Poker Run, so take your time and enjoy the cruisin’.

Each checkpoint is located at a participating sponsor's place of business.  The Poker Run sponsors are very competitive and are the real backbone of this event.  They go all out to make your experience at their checkpoint the most memorable.  They earn and deserve your support!

There are five (5) randomly selected checkpoints where participants are asked to select a card from a deck of playing cards.

At each checkpoint a volunteer will mark your arrival on your score sheet.  Checkpoint workers record the card selection on the participants' score sheets.

At the Finish Line the participants submit their score sheet poker hands for official scoring.  Poker Run officials score the submitted poker hand score sheets on the basis of Hoyle's poker rules.

Where is the contest held?
The Poker Run Contest is held at businesses throughout the city. All Poker Run participants will enter at gate 10/B of the NOS Events. Check in is at the Backstretch Bar & Grill.
