Almost 5K Poker Fun Run & Walk

Saturday, August 14, 9am-1pm
(updated timeframe)

Les Gove Park

The Almost 5K Poker Fun Run & Walk returns to Les Gove Park on Saturday, August 14th from 9 AM – 3 PM. This in-person run is perfect for all ages and abilities. This fun run will utilize the big loop at Les Gove Park. Five loops around is “almost” a 5K (short of a 5K by 1,138 feet). Interval starts will be offered in groups of 50 participants, every 15 minutes from 9:00 AM until 12:30 PM; with the run closing at 1:00 PM. Participants will select their preferred time at registration. For each lap around the loop, participants will stop, choose a card, and try to get the best poker hand with the five cards drawn. To reduce contact with others, only Poker Run volunteers will touch the playing cards. Participants will select their card from a safe distance. Awards will be distributed to the top poker hands in eight age categories and announced the following Monday. Register early for a discounted registration fee! On-site registrations will be available, early registration includes a t-shirt and medal. For registration details and info on the event visit us online at www.auburnwa.gov/events
