Registration to ride in the Poker Run includes an event t-shirt (while supplies last) and a poker hand; which can be entered at the final stop for a chance to win a cash prize. Enter the bug splatter competition and a chance to win the 50/50 pot.

Riders have the option to purchase an additional hand for $10 per hand. At the last stop, riders will have the option to purchase one additional “playing card” to create a better hand for an additional $10.

Once at the last stop, riders will be able to enter the five-card hand they built for a chance to win a cash prize. The rider with the best hand will win $500 cash and $250 cash will be awarded to the rider with the worst hand. Light snacks and beverages will be available to purchase at the end of the ride.

The name, “Ride for Independence”, ties together the idea of helping people with disabilities become more independent to the independent spirit of many motorcycle riders and enthusiasts.

All proceeds from the Poker Run will be used to support the MCDS mission of promoting community inclusion and employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
