📜 Rules
Route: There is no official route! Visit as many or as few locations as you like, as long as you are walking/running!
Checkpoints: The event will start and end at the Southern Prohibition Taproom. Suggested locations include:
Drawing Cards: At each checkpoint, you will draw a card from the top of a deck of playing cards. Each card will be punched for each location.
Building a Hand: Participants build their poker hand by drawing cards at each checkpoint. You may collect cards from each location, but only five may be used to build your hand. You are not required to visit all locations, but it helps your chances!
Winning Hand: The participant with the best poker hand at the end of the run wins. Other prizes for different hands and random door prizes will also be awarded!
Potential for Ties: If there is a tie, the winner will be determined by one poker hand. Each participant will be dealt five cards, and the best hand wins.
