Semper Running Poker FUN Run/Walk Oct 07, 2023
3.9 Mile Run/Walk
This is a Poker run on your feet. You can run, jog, walk, or all 3. This event is NOT based on time, it is based on the best poker hands. Top 3 poker hands will win prizes. You will go along one of the two 3.9 mile courses and visit each bar establishment in Como. At each stop, you will draw a card towards your hand and receive a small refreshment. Each participant will also receive a bib, event swag, and post-race snacks and drinks. All participants must be 21 years of age or older for this event. There is a 100 participant max so sign up early. We will be featuring a staggered start time so the courses and establishments do not get over loaded. Participants can start at any time between 11 am and 12 pm and must have their bib (poker hand) turned in by 3 pm! Winners will be announced no later than 4 pm.
