What is an Air Poker Run?

An Air Poker Run is an organized charity event where pilots and airplanes travel to pre-selected destinations and receive a playing card in a sealed envelope at each destination. In this case we will be playing 5 card stud. At the end of the run, the three (3) entrants with the best 5 card poker hand will win a prize of Cash and/or Merchandise. There will be a special prize for a hand of 4 Aces!

Poker runs usually require a fee to enter and the proceeds go to charity. There will be an awards dinner held in honor of those who participate in the event immediately following the return of all aircraft. This event is not a race and not a rally, a Poker Run is a game of chance.

Registration is limited to the first 100 entrants!
