First Deal of the Poker Fun Run/Walk

Join us at Stone Creek Park on Saturday, May 17, for our First 5K Poker Fun Run/Walk, part of our 50th Birthday celebration.

What is this, you may ask? It is a morning of fun, fitness, and a little bit of luck. You may choose to go as fast, or as slow as you wish. Your finish time does not matter, but your participation does! Participants will be dealt two “Hole” cards upon registration, then as they travel on our 5K course, they will be dealt their three “Flop” cards, then “The Turn” card, and finally, upon crossing the finish line, they will receive their “River” card. Choose your best five card poker hand for your chance at prizes. Prizes will be awarded for “Two Pair” or better hands.

Entry fees are $20 per person by May 12, and $25 per person after. A Poker Fun Run/Walk t-shirt, and post race refreshments are included with your fee. Net proceeds will benefit the CRPD Children’s Funding Assistance Program, which provides recreation programming for disadvantaged youth throughout our District. A more detailed description of this program can be found at www.crpd.com.

Race Day registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Stone Creek. The “race” will begin at 9:00 a.m., prizes will be awarded beginning around 10:30 a.m. Come join us for some morning exercise, and help a child learn to swim, experience a session of Day Camp, or learn a new sport!
