A poker run is an organized event in which participants, usually on golf carts or on foot or other means of transportation, must visit seven checkpoints, drawing a playing card at each one. The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Having the best hand and winning is purely a matter of chance. Participants meet at the Pavilion at the start of the event, travel throughout the campground visiting host sites and collecting cards, then return to the pavilion at the end of the event to turn in their results and enjoy the prize presentations.
