Poker Runs

Poker Runs are non-competitive, non-timed trail rides over a marked course with multiple stops along the way to get a poker card. At the end of the ride, you have an opportunity to win a trophy or other prize based on the result of your poker hand. Poker runs are a great way to learn about trails you haven’t ridden yet and meet others who like to ride and have fun! Come out, ride your bike and maybe go home with prizes. Bring the whole family and everyone has a chance to win! Everyone loves trophies!

If you have suggestions to make the series better or to stand out from the pack, we would love to hear from you. Contact us at: pokerruns@nmaoffroad.org
