What is a Poker Run?

A Poker Run serves as a fund raising activity. There is usually a charge for each poker hand, which serves as a donation to the Chapter/District. Each Poker Run may differ in one way or another, but are basically as follows: We sign in and get a set of directions to a check point. When we arrive at the first check point we draw a playing card. We continue on to the second and subsequent check points, until we reach the final point. The high had will win a prize or share in the funds collected from the event. Some organizations have observations runs in which you may have questions to answer about sights along the route. If it all seems a little confusing, don't worry, we were all confused at first. Just ask some Old Hand for the help you need.
