Do you like to run? Do you like to play poker? Do you like supporting worthy causes with your participation? If so, this is the event for YOU - come on out to Old Town (80 Quick School Road) at 2 PM on the last Sunday in September every year to run as many laps as you can in an hour to raise funds and awareness for ovarian cancer! This race format is totally unique for our area and has been a lot of fun for our participants for the last 6 years; we are looking forward to bringing an even bigger and better event for 2024! We hope you're as excited as we are to support our Lincoln County young people through our scholarship program which Poker Run funds!
PLEASE READ! IF YOU AGREE TO DONATE/RAISE A MINIMUM OF $100 DURING REGISTRATION, THE COST OF YOUR REGISTRATION ($40) OR YOUR SHIRT ($35) WILL BE REFUNDED AT CHECKOUT*. TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS, ON THE CHARITY/DONATION PAGE, YOU MUST CLICK ON THE BUTTON THAT SAYS 'Become a Fundraiser" AND SET YOUR FUNDRAISER UP - YOU CAN DONATE THE FULL AMOUNT AT THAT TIME OR SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY SO THEY CAN SUPPORT YOUR PERSONAL FUNDRAISER. It is so easy to raise $100 on social media...this is a great way to raise funds for a worthy cause and race for free at the same time!
Concept: Runners complete as many 1/2 mile loops on our closed, gravel course in ONE HOUR as they wish. For each lap completed, a card will be placed in an envelope for you by a volunteer. Runners must complete 5 loops (2.5 miles) within the hour in order to play poker. There are no age groups since the winners aren't based on speed so, bring your kids and grandmas! Never know who lady luck is going to smile on!
We are running a CUPLESS event. If you've never participated in one of these, that just means that we will provide lots of water coolers, but you will provide the vessel and will fill it yourself, as needed.
