This event is our latest annual fundraiser from RSPF, with proceeds going to Riverside State Park for park projects and enhancements. The 2023 POKER RUN-HIKE OR MTN BIKE features your choice of a Mountain Bike Loop OR a separate Run-Hike Loop. Each course features stations for bean bag toss to earn a poker card at each of those 5 stations. Win prizes for "best hand", "worst hand", etc., rules will be posted onsite at check-in. Pint Glasses will be handed out to all participants as well as prize drawings!
This event is not timed, it's all about family fun. The course options are 5k for runners/hikers and 10k for mountain bike riders (MTB or cross bikes advised). All courses are non-technical and fairly flat, suitable for younger children with cycling experience. Children are not eligible for poker run prizes specifically.
