Basically, a poker run is a fund-raising event patterned after the card game of poker and is generally held by motorcyclists, however, any vehicle-based organization can hold a poker run.Instead of sitting down at a table and having the cards dealt by a dealer, the participants travel to several different locations or stops to draw their poker chip or card. Poker run organizers usually develop a unique or scenic route to each of the stops and the run normally takes 2-4 hours to complete. At each stop, participants draw a single poker chip or card and then travel to the next location, eventually building their complete poker "hand."
Participants initially register at a specific location where they purchase one or more blank tally sheets used to record the poker chips or cards they'll draw at each stop. The participants then take their tally sheet(s) to the first stop where a volunteer has a container filled with a bag of chips 1 - 75. Participants stir the chips and draw one chip for each tally sheet they purchased. The volunteers observe the chip(s) drawn by the participants, annotate the tally sheet(s) with the appropriate chip information, and the participants proceeds to the next stop with their tally sheet.
After drawing their fifth chip at the final stop, the participants give their tally sheets to other volunteers who will score the
sheets and determine the winning hands. Prizes are normally given to the top two
hands and also to the worst hand drawn by participants in the poker run. Now you
know what we mean by a "Poker Run!"
