PAST EVENT - Kroger Big K 10th Anniversary Poker Run

The year 2000 marked the beginning of the Kroger Poker Run. Ten years later, Kroger continues to host the annual motorcycle ride through scenic southern Illinois! As a civic minded business, Kroger believes in giving back to the communities they serve. In doing so, tens of thousands of dollars have gone to local charities to benefit many southern Illinois individuals and families. This year, Kroger has again selected the Coach Kill Cancer Fund as the charity to partner with for the Kroger Big K 10th Anniversary Poker Run.

The Kroger Big K 10th Anniversary Poker Run will be held Saturday, August 28, 2010. Riders can register online, or download the registration form at the following Web site: www.coachkillcancerfund.org/pokerrun10.htm and return it to Kroger along with the Rider Release Form. Pre-registered riders can report directly to the first checkpoint between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. (Washington County Lake). This will speed up the registration process on the day of the event. Registration at the event is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds.

Registration is $25 for a single rider or $35 for two riders on the same bike. The registration fee includes: one poker hand each, lunch, snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, steak dinner, prizes, entertainment and free admission and parking at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. Have friends that can’t make the ride but want to join you for dinner? Additional dinner tickets can be purchased for $15 per ticket. Last year’s 50/50 raffle ticket was worth over $1,000 to the winner and another drawing will take place this year. Commemorative t-shirts will be available at $10-$15 each, along with the chance to purchase additional poker hands at $5 each. The registration deadline is: Wednesday, August 25, 2010.
