POKER RUN
(to benefit the Westside YMCA and TATUR)
Mark your calendars!!!!
On Sat, September 9th we are going to mix things up a little bit.
We are going to meet at our usual 5:30 am starting time at 69th and Riverside and go South. We will try to mix in part of the Jenks portion of the Route 66 Marathon into this run. This way you can familiarize yourselves with this portion of the course. We will go appx. 5-6 miles and head back to 69th.
For the next portion of our training run we are going to have a POKER RUN. We are doing this as a fundraiser to help support the Turkey & TATURS 50K/25K/10K trail race and the Westside YMCA. For a minimum donation of 5 dollars you can particpate in this exciting event and play to win some really cool prizes!!
For those of you that do not know what a poker run is, I shall explain it.
Our poker run is just what it says it is. It's a 5 mile training run and you get to play poker while running. When you start your run, you will be dealt a card. You will continue on to the next checkpoint and you will be dealt another card. Repeat this process for a total of 5 cards. At the end of the run we shall see who has the best poker hands. The best hands win prizes!!
I hope that each of you will consider having some fun with us and get some running miles in as well. This run is open to any and all runners.
For those of you that do not want to start at 5:30, the official start time of the poker run will be 7am.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
Hope to see you on Saturday September 9th at 69th & Riverside at 7am.
