Inaugural AURA Wild Card Run - June 6th

Event Description Join AURA for the inaugural AURA Wild Card Run on Saturday, June 6, at 7:00 AM. This will be a fun, low-key trail poker run on the Corkscrew route. We will start at the Electronic Tower and run the route counterclockwise, hitting four card stations along the way before returning to the finish. Friends and family welcome. Please sign up so we know how much food to bring. At each of the four stations, runners will pick up one playing card. When you return to the finish line, you’ll draw your fifth and final card. Everyone will then play their hand, and the best poker hand wins. The winner will receive a custom chip medal. This is not your typical race — it’s a fun AURA community run with trails, cards, aid stations, and a little luck.
