Description of the Event
​

Mission: Runners attempt to build the best poker hand by drawing cards at five stations along the trails at Sunset Park. 

Execution: At 0900 on Race Day, given a map of the trail system annotated with stations, runners navigate a course of their choice ensuring that they complete stations one through four before drawing a final card at Station Five. After drawing their last card they run back to the registration at the "F" pavilion to turn in their hand for score.

Coordinating Instructions:

1. The first three runners at each station will draw an extra card.
2. When drawing a card, the station monitor will write the runner's bin number on the back.  
3. When arriving at Station Five, runners must show their first four cards to receive their fifth cards.
4. At check-in, runners turn in their hands.  If any cards are duplicated (for example two three-of-hearts, runners will draw another card to fill out their hands. 
5. The first three runners back to check-in, with at least one card from each station, will receive an extra card. 
6. Runners may sign up for two or more hands to improve their chances. However, they will receive one card for each bib number.  Cards may not be switched between hands. 
7. Runners need not be present when final results are tabulated.
8. All contestants must be back at check-in prior to 1100.​
